Well i made the switch to the Dream router and i must say... for a 2 year old router, its was way ahead of its time. maybe the software back then was crappy but with its recent updates. Wow.

The networking aspect is awesome. I finally seeing why its constantly sold out.

Yes, not 'on all other routers', by a long shot.

It's the holidays, kick back and enjoy!

I have axe16000. I would like tontry vlan.
In current firmware it's not available
Just to be sure I asked asus support.
" I want a vlan future. Please tell me if I'm right. I have 3 options:

1. Wait for a future firmware update that supports VLANs.
2. Install the beta firmware,
3. Install Asuswrt-Merlin custom firmware. (I read that Asus accept this firmware if the router failure wasn't caused during the update)

"
I was informed that I have only two options. 1 and 2.
Asus support informed me that merlin installation will void the warranty.
I believe that I read on this forum that asus is OK with merlin but I can't find this post so I may be wrong.
I wonder... Could asus have different warranty policy in Poland?

You can always flash Asus WRT on top of Merlin and do a factory reset to make sure no settings leak in between.
Of course Asus won't support Merlin so warranty is void on that ground. So no configuration troubleshooting from Asus while running Merlin.
But if you have a hardware problems, they will obey the warranty. It's just a bit of care from you if you need to RMA the device.

Flashing Asuswrt-Merlin does NOT void your warranty.

 

[Analog-1]

Flashing Asuswrt-Merlin does NOT void your warranty.

Tell that to Asus. Every time i have spoken to them vis phone or email they say using any firmware other then Asus firmware voids warranty.

 

[RMerlin]

Tell that to Asus

It depends on who you talk to. A level 1 tech support wouldn't know the answer, and would improvise.

A few months ago, a few of my users got bricked routers due to a faulty CFE update Asus had provided me. Taiwan HQ told me to have these users request an RMA and that they would be taken care of.

Asus' HQ answer is definitely more reliable there than a level 1 tech support's opinion.

And here it is! Finally, after 8 months of nothing.

Although it’s not available automatically through the app or router.asus.com

Nice!
But am I missing something or there is no vlan in the changelog?
P. S.
From stock firmware do I need to do a clean install? And if yes. Is it reset + install or install + reset?
I have only one vpn profile configured and custom dns setup

 

[L&LD]

3.0.0.4.xxx level firmware will have no VLANs.

If you're just a firmware or two behind, you shouldn't need to do a full reset.

But, if you do, it is install the firmware you want to use first, then do the reset.

Merlin on ASUS ax86U Question

I have an ASUS AX86U and contemplating the installation of Merlin firmware. The DDNS settings on the AX86U are limited to select dns providers. If I install Merlin, will I have more flexability (choices) with the DDNS Settings? Thanks in advance!

Am I all set to start fresh with the latest stable release? And a request for L&LD...

After creating the checklists two weeks ago to save the pages with settings, I've made all the screenshots (I think at least) of all the relevant guides written by @L&LD and the very useful tip by @netware5. The only thing is, those guides are great, except when you'll be offline at least for a...

But am I missing something...

This new firmware is still 3.0.0.4 base. The Pro firmware with VLANs is 3.0.0.6 base. Official release is not available for this model yet.

 

[d5aqoep]

Pathetic that after running a beta for over a year, they cant still release 3.0.0.6 firmware. Says a lot about the competence of Asus firmware developers.

Come on, now. WiFi7 is being more-actively worked on, and established stuff generally works well-enough, safely-enough.
