Looks like the ASUS RT-BE92U are kinda a side-grade from RT-BE88U. The 92U got better wifi(?) but worse hardware(?) it looks like.

So i the conclusion its most likely an attack via Asus AI feature (Disk or Cloud)?

Best Asus for Merlin, performance pr $ I would guess that is the RT-BE88U. If you go to the new 98 models, the price doubles, or more.

If I were to try out pfsense firewall, which model would be roughly the same as the RT-BE88U? Edit: Forget about it, these boxes do not have any wifi

The advantage I will get over my AX88U is better router hardware (for example for VPN) and maybe a little bit faster internet. And to take the advantage of that I also need to get 2 new 2.5g switches, + new cat 6a/7 cables, which adds about 250€ more on the router. So you are most likely correct...

Ok, but its not officially supported by Merlin. This is now the cheapest one I can find. The 2 others supported cost close to 1000$ here in Norway. The RT-BE88U is under half the price.

The big difference is new firmware upgrade!

And just like that, we suddenly have other options to get over to the new firmware; the RT-BE88U and RT-BE86U. So the RT-BE88U would be a small upgrade, and at the same time be able to run the new firmware https://www.snbforums.com/threads/new-models-to-be-introduced-with-3006-102-2.91761/

Ok, but the GT-AX6000 is a bit older and will maybe lose support a couple years earlier then the AX88U Pro I guess. Prices are a bit higher (20% or so) for the AX88U Pro here in Norway

And the cheapest way to get to use 5.0 of the firmware is the get a Asus RT-AX88U Pro correct?

I get your points, but compared to most other PC hardware (except GPUs), the prices for these top models routers have really gone up drastically...

WHOA! The Netgear Nighthawk RS700 is just as expensive as the new Asus models, the Netgear Nighthawk RS300 is about half the price, but at of course cut features/performance. Why are these new gen models so expensive?! What happened to routers? Suddenly all chips they use gone up many times in...

Thanks, and I agree. These new routers are in a whole other ballpark expensive, I have a hard time understanding it, like they were whole laptops or smartphones. Not gonna get any of them at the current prices. And I have no clue if there are any 5.0 changes I really need. A few years back I...

Here in Norway its actually more expensive now then when I got mine (currency/import issues I guess), but this one is a lot of router for the money, to my limited knowledge.

I were referring to VPN performance etc, not lan/wan
