Many Thanks

@ColinTaylor I'm aware of this:

- It needs to be Broadcom-based
Broadcom 43684 I believe
- It needs to be widely available (not just in two or three countries)
It's global for sure
- It needs to have high-end hardware so I don't have to fight with lack of flash or RAM
As good or better than models already supported
- It needs to receive frequent enough GPLs so I won't have to regularly skip it due to the GPL being outdated
Uncertain
- I need to have one
I'm guessing so given this:

- I need to have the time to try supporting it
Only @RMerlin can answer this
- I need to have the motivation to try supporting it
Gooooooo Merlin!

So given that, I thought I'd ask

I cannot speculate about future model support. At this time, I am not looking into adding any other model.

K thanks for the reply. I'll probably keep my RT-5300 as a main router then and try and have these two Zenfi XT8's as nodes. See how that works out.

So just to understand, is working with MERLIN for the main router - but for Zenfi you use Asus FW and you have possibity to have a mesh ?
