    WiFi 7 is outdated already.

    LOL, right - so my router is in the living room and now I'm in the bedroom OUTSIDE of those living room walls... Damn, what happened to my connection???

    WiFi 7 is outdated already.

    True, that's a valid comment, but your thread title, "WiFi 7 is outdated already." is patently absurd! That's what everyone is basically noting.

    WiFi 7 is outdated already.

    Really? All the apartments I've ever seen still have multiple rooms - with walls in between! Are the apartments you're familiar with different and sans walls somehow??

    WiFi 7 is outdated already.

    Something to keep an eye on, sure... But I respectfully submit that your thread title isn't even close to reality. Right now, I'm running a 2 node Ai-Mesh system in my 3/2.5 2 story townhome - primarily because the construction around here is concrete/cinderblock, not very conducive to network...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    This computer actually IS ethernet cable connected to the router - using Powerline Ethernet adapters, but that shouldn't make a difference?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    Yes, tried that. Even tried downloading from the mirror site instead.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    Trying to upgrade from Merlin 386.4 to 386.5_2. Keep getting this error. Have confirmed that I downloaded the right file - for RT-AC3100. Have tried the upgrade several times, same error every time. First time I've ever seen this.

    Why no new Merlin firmware?

    LOL, not sure that would make a difference - since the question keeps getting answered over and over and over again - in THIS thread, where its been answered and the information posted that NO additional information should be anticipated until the next release happens, whenever that is!

    AiMesh with backhaul via Ethernet over Powerline

    Thanks for all the information. I've used a set of 200Mb adapters for years to feed my computers and AV devices that are physically remote from the modem & router. Throughput has been just fine, up to and including HD streaming via Roku & Firestick. I think the devices are getting older, and...

    AiMesh with backhaul via Ethernet over Powerline

    As the title says - that's what I'm thinking of doing, using TP-Link 2Gbit Powerline Ethernet devices. Yes, I know I'll get nowhere 2 Gb from them! But seems it should be better than wifi backhaul? I'm only posting/asking because I did a search and can't find ANY threads where anyone has done...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_6 is now available

    Dirty upgrade to my AIMesh system, all 3 routers. Running fine.

    Can I remove OEM plugin and ensure a clean system?

    LOL, gotta love it! "I just got my RT-AC86U from a local retailer today and have successfully flashed Asuswrt-Merlin." A few messages later: "Yes I bought the router from a Chinese online retailer."

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    Well, it didn't like 378.56 - tried it twice, and it said it was still on the old firmware after each reboot. So, downloaded 378.55, and that one took, but had to do the full factory reset before it came up and ran. Did a few basic config steps, and then upgraded to 384.9 with no issues...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    Yes, already took screen shots of all the settings, to prepare for factory reset. Thanks for the quick response!
