Okay, thanks. However, to my knowledge, Kernel 4.19 is out of support since December 2024. I understand this will be a hassle for manufacturers with the drivers, but at some point, it will be very difficult to backport security updates to this "dinosaur" kernel.

Thanks RMerlin. I updated my RT-BE88U to the latest version. The update ran smoothly with no issues for the past 24 hours! Does anyone have insights into why Asus is pushing the can down the road regarding the outdated kernel version: 4.19.294?

Great, many thanks for the implementation! It was even selecting dark theme automatically, due to my system preference.

Please bring back a theme that has dark mode option. The current hurts my eyes!

Aye, Kobo Candies are on the way to your private matters email address. I hope this works.

I've been using the RT-AC68U with Merlin Firmware for many years. All the updates I've performed have gone flawlessly, and I appreciated the continued and extend support for that model. Now, my successor model, the RT-BE88U with Merlin FW loaded, provides me a better and great new AIO router...

I've upgraded my RT-BE88U stock firmware to Merlin. The update went smoothly with no issues so far, and all the custom Merlin features I'm using are working as expected. Keep up the good work!

Possibly. According the Uptime in System Log, it did reboot. I might just did not notice....

OTA update went smooth on my RT-BE88U, no issues so far. Maybe my experience is a bit dated from the RT-AC68U times. But, is there no reboot required anymore after firmware updates?

You're correct; I double-checked, I was not up to speed with my ISP's topology developments. My connected PoP is AON with Point-to-Point (P2P) for both 1G and 10G connections. I've updated the table with more details on the SFP and SFP+ modules I've tested with the Asus RT-BE88U router. The 10G...

Im currently in the process of updating my fiber to 10G AON. I'll let know about the power consumption of the SFP+ module when I have that info ready, if it matters for your decision.

Of course, I was using the standard delivered 19v power supply for my consumption tests. I added the 220V/230V note specifically, as people in the US with 110V power outlet might get slightly different results. I brushed up my initial scribbling a bit, hopefully this is more clear now.

Hi all, With increasing energy prices, I figured it'd be a good idea to check out the power usage of the Asus RT-BE88U router running firmware version 3.0.0.6.102.33921. To get the numbers, I grabbed my Brennenstuhl PM 231 Power Meter and plugged it into a 220V/230 outlet. I tested the router...
