    [ 3004.388.7 alpha 2 Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Note the changelog: - CHANGED: Updated free memory report on networkmap to also consider reclaimable memory as being free (kjbracey) You're only seeing "improved memory management" likely because of this, with likely little actual change.

    Asus RT-AX86U vs RT-AX68U (with Merlin cake SQM)

    It was always a piece of junk, despite initial hope (I owned one), and some fervent supporters here. EOL is good riddance, in this case.

    RT-AX68U Availability

    Ha. Called it without trying. The junk AX-68U is now actually EOL.

    [ 3004.388.6 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Something weird in the alpha. I don't run anything special at all (AX6000 main, AX86S node, no VPN, no QoS, really vanilla) For some reason, my live bandscan for OTA TV can't make it out to their provider. I'm going to see if i can figure it out, but if a rollback works, I'll report too...

    Ads on top of forum content...

    All this talk about ad annoyance, and not a single mention of the lack of protected space up top, for ads? If i had a nickel for every mis-hit on a quick link click, due to the whole forum moving down... Every other forum I'm on everywhere accounts for this space, why not this one?

    Release ASUS GT-AX6000 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_21514

    This was my experience, too. Even simple, needed, items (like changing wifi channels) struggle. I'm on the Merlin beta right now, given it's 1) back on 3.0.0.4x and 2) an even newer GPL than the stock release. Rock solid, and the loss of the ROG GUI doesn't hurt, either.

    RT-AX68U Availability

    Never mind that @L&LD is calling the AX-86U "essentially EOL" while spouting on about a router that, you know, probably is a heck of a lot closer to EOL (and in the thread saying availability is dropping - gee, wonder why?).

    RT-AX68U Availability

    Has more weight than you saying "The AX68U has quite a few bad reviews here on the forums" is "just not true" Look it up. I did, you just continue to spout nonsense.

    RT-AX68U Availability

    "Got rid of it" was me getting "lucky" I had a lightning strike at my house that took a ton of (yes, surge suppressed) equipment down with it. With the price drops, I replaced it with an AX-86S, which beats the pants off it in every way. Maybe later production runs got better? It's happened...

    RT-AX68U Availability

    So mutliple users complaining of a whole wifi band dropping doesn't have weight? If I didn't have the same exact problem, I might be a little cynical, too, but I did, and I know what I'm doing.

    RT-AX68U Availability

    Wrong. Former owner. Absolutely bad reviews here. Got rid of it. The below is only 12 pages :rolleyes: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-ax68u-5ghz-band-dropping-disappearing.76091/

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    1) You need to look up "opinion" apparently 2) "I for one am assuming the RT-AX86U model." means you are assuming EOL. I got an AX-6000, put 3.0.0.6 stock on it, and went the new Merlin beta within days. Bug-ridden junk. Multiple screens broken out of the box. Even with your assumption, i...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (15-05-2023)

    I'm assuming someone mistook an AC for AX? Can't fathom this router being dropped that quickly.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 beta is now available

    QoS on? I'm not seeing similar on my (QoS off) AX-6000

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    So, for giggles, I tried enabling Adaptive QoS again, figuring "Why not?" I've, in the recent past, gone to 500/500 FTTH, but haven't bothered with QoS, due to earlier issues I noted above (and a dwindling use case at 500/500 speeds). The results on 388.2_2 seem promising, but I'm going to wait...
