    AC5300 with Merlin can I use RT AC66u_B1 as a mesh node with either stock Asus FW or the AC66U merlin FW?

    huh I never would have guessed that it would be AC68U so you are saying it will also work on the stock FW too then You are saying that in general the advice is that AI mesh node devices are recomended to just use stock FW and not merlin, not specifically my router by any other router being...
