When will it be available for the simple Merlin TUF 3000V2 router?

[lenovomen]

Hi,

I don't see the TUF 3000V2 router in the list of supported devices, only the regular 3000 is on the page. When will the V2 be available? Where can I download it?

Merlin does not support that model and never will. Try Gnutons firmware he may support it.

Hi, Aim of this project is to provide SW and support for the following models: DSL-AC68U DSL-AX82U RT-AX82U TUF-AX5400 TUF-AX300 ZenWifi XT8 This is an official Merlin fork and it's supported by @RMerlin and Asus. Code and more info are available here. For support please use one of the...

Supported by GNton’s fork:

@lenovomen, per the pinned, tacked, stickied subforum topic [FAQ] READ ME FIRST before posting a question:

Q: Will you add support for model XYZ?
A: The decision whether or not to support a new model depend on a long list of factors, which may evolve over time. Right now:

- It needs to be Broadcom-based
- It needs to be widely available (not just in two or three countries)
- It needs to have high-end hardware so I don't have to fight with lack of flash or RAM
- It needs to receive frequent enough GPLs so I won't have to regularly skip it due to the GPL being outdated
- I need to have one
- I need to have the time to try supporting it
- I need to have the motivation to try supporting it

Each new model requires its own dedicated support. That means every time I work on a new firmware release, I have to work on each separate model, and I need GPL releases from Asus for each individual model, and I need to merge each of them separately. So that means if I support 10 different routers, then I need to merge in the content of 10 different GPL releases, and these need to be close enough to one another to still be compatible. The more models I support, the harder this is to accomplish, therefore I am VERY conservative regarding adding any new model.

So don't ask if/when a new model will be supported. I cannot speculate about future model support, and until I have working support for a model, I cannot answer that question.

As others have indicated see the Gnuton fork of the Asus-Merlin firmware.

Further if one uses the forum search feature and searches for the subforum for "TUF-AX3000" they would find several past mentions of the TUF-AX3000 V2 and supported Gnuton firmware:

For example:

Its there support for the TUF AX3000 V2?

So i got an Asus TUF AX3000 V2 and i dont know if there is support for the V2 version. Can somebody tell me please?

I do not understand. And why won't never? How support Gnuton? Why doesn't simple Merlin support it?
