I get it, it’s your time, and so rightly your way or the highway. And I also know how Gnuton already works with you and ASUS. I just thought that for the good of an entire continent he might be able to push his released blobs to a new folder on your infrastructure. This could be entirely...

With the difference in worldwide frequencies being allowed I feel like many WiFi7 models are going to have this same split. I appreciate what you are saying about legality and time. But test devices are used all over the world and don’t cause a problem (and from personal experience can say they...

I agree. The entire European market (and probably others!) relies on the non Pro version. Much as I appreciate Gnuton’s work, does he have the staying power of RMerlin? Do I want to run my router on a fork that may disappear in 12 months time? I can’t even find Gnuton’s version to try if I...

I've been waiting for the ET12 for ages as it's my perfect long term future proof router. Can only hope it gets Merlin's blessing and then I can actually buy a pair.

I know it's uncouth to ask @RMerlin about future model inclusion and already we are lucky to have such a wide net of model support, but, given the ZenWiFi Pro XT12 is so closely related to the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 I wondered if that might be on the horizon? It's the only model that fits my needs of...

So I just got an alert from my monitoring that a remote site had gone offline (RT-AC5300 running 386.4 - I saw the mention of a possible fix for my issue in 386.5 Beta but doesn't seem applicable as no IPv6 enabled). I drive out there, router's Web UI says the internet is disconnected, and given...

I just updated the iOS app to the same new version released today, I can now use it without crashes with HTTPS Only mode. So all good here.

The other variables might be related to ports used and if you have a self signed or Let’s Encrypt cert installed.

Switch to BOTH and now the app lets me log in. Switch back to HTTPS only and it crashes again when the app is connecting. Odd it works for you on HTTPS only but not me. For now I’ll just enable BOTH and keep an eye on the change logs for the app.

As a temporary solution you could have your script use wl to deauthenticate and deauthorize the device to force it to reconnect. I had a similar issue 4-5 years ago with a pesky device that would stop responding every few days but was still associated on WiFi. Something like; mac="<your mac>"...

I already have HTTPS only, I always disable HTTP. I also have the port changed from 8443 to 443 and have updated that in the advanced settings of the app. So maybe you need it set to BOTH, but that’s dumb. I expect the app checks HTTP and if it’s not there crashes as someone forgot to think...

Could be Merlin specific. Plus they have a lot of routers on a lot of different versions to cover.

When it works it's awesome. I regularly use it to check on my network - some stuff is in the app that isn't in the web UI (like if a client is on 5Ghz-1 or 5Ghz-2 network on a AiMesh node on a til band router). Hopefully they fix it shortly.

Just upgraded my RT-AC86U. My iOS Asus App crashed when connecting to the router after upgrade. Removed router from app and re-added - now crashes on attempting to log in Uninstalled/Reinstalled app and still the same So I guess Asus need to fix the app, just wondered if I'm alone in this issue?

As already suggested, you could go with the RT-AX89X The 10G SPF+ Port can have a 10GBaseT transceiver in it - 10GTek make a compatible one - not sure if the SPF+ put you off? You'd lose Merlin compatibility, but if you are only using VPN as you say then that is in the Asus stock firmware...
