Hey man, any solution to this yet? Just updated, didn't even consider that updating the firmware would break the applet. Were you able to downgrade the router firmware, or find another solution? EDIT: In case anyone comes across this in the future, I just downgraded to firmware 3004, and the...

Well, i unplugged the router to move somewhere else, and after plugging back in, the applet is still there. I'm not sure if powering off and back on again is the same as a reboot, but it seems to still be working fine, so i guess it's OK? Now I just need to figure out all the other bells and...

Oh, for sure. I've read about it's removal, and understand why. :) I'm just wondering if anyone has any input on if an applet required that particular function, in order to be installed, whether not having that would cause said applet any issues. I'm not well enough educated on such things to...

I just spent the afternoon setting up my new RT-AX88U Pro. I installed the latest Merlin build (3004.388.6) without issue. But when I go to Administration > System, "Format JFFS partition at next boot" isn't there. "Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs" is enabled, but that's the only...

Hey there! I have notifications on, but still got no notification... 😥 So I tried today to set the Applet, but no joy. It just doesn't work. :( The Astrill instructions say I needs to enable '"Format JFFS partition at next boot"' first, but I don't have that option. I can install the Astrill...

Hey there. Just wondering, did you get it sorted? I just recieved the AX88U PRO, also here in China, and was going to install the Astrill applet, but now I'm concerned there will be extra steps. So wondering if you got it solved on the 86U-Pro. :)

That was a great write up, thanks! I looked over the specs of the 88U Pro, and it doesn't look as if it offers much more than the 86U Pro. Merlin also seems to still only be in Beta, which would definitely be an issue. So I might still go for the 88U Pro. Just need to confirm with the VPN guys...

I'm currently using a TP-Link Archer C9, but I'm not sure if it has AC, and I'm also not sure what that is. :)

Haha, yes, exactly! :)

An TP-Link Archer C9 running some version of DDWRT.

Interesting! Something I definitely need to know, seeing as the most important factor will be speed under VPN usage! So in that case, I guess I don't need to worry too much. It has 2.5Gbit input, and Wifi6, so I guess I'm set. :)

Thanks for the reply! Where I live, the 'pro' is significantly more expensive, and I'm not sure it will offer benefits equal to the almost double price. :) If I wire-connect anything, it will only be game consoles, but all current gen models are limited to 1000Mbits at most, so having faster...

Yikes! That was all quite complicated for me... My phones and laptops all support Wifi6, so I figured getting a router, like the 86U, that also supports 6 would be a good choice. If I understand correctly, the AX86U supports a 2.5Gb ethernet input, which my moden outputs. Unless I've...

You mean the AX86U wifi doesn't go faster than 1Gbit? And the VPN I'll be using provides software specifically for ASUS routers. I've not heard the provider limits VPN speeds. I use a VPN because the country I live in limits internet access.

Thanks for your input! Though, I'm really not sure on some of your comments. Why do you think my ISP sold me a service I can't really use? And why do you think I don't need my VPN sold me a service? As for if the VPN service will work on the RT-AX86U, that model is listed on their website as...
