Performed "dirty" upgrade on AX88U-Pro from latest 3004 release. So far, not a single hiccup. Mesh working fine.

Thanks! Fully aware of that... Been using ASUS / Merlin on more than 5 generations of ASUS routers. The new AX88U-Pro is working flawlessly without resetting to defaults after flashing Merlin to an otherwise unconfigured device and configuring Merlin from scratch. I was just curious about the...

Perhaps. I just based it off looking at the real-time ethernet port throughput as measured by my NAS when backups were running across the net. I just saw a higher throughput with the 9K frames. My NAS is > 5 years old and that might be a factor. The NAS CPU is a i5-3470S - which arguably is...

Thats what I suspected. Thanks for confirming. Couldn't find any technical details on the 88U-Pro to confirm, though. As I mentioned, I moved all devices with Jumbo Frames enabled to a separate switch with Jumbo Frame support. Apparently they have no issue communicating from the separate switch...

Understood. I've been using 9K jumbo frames on my PCs and NAS devices for years to improve backup times. I use the NAS for automated backup storage, and Jumbo Frames measurably improved backup times. Never had a single issue until I connected one of the PC's to an ethernet port on the...

Hmm. I did not do a factory reset after Merlin flash. Since the AX88U-Pro was brand new "out of the box" and never configured when I flashed to Merlin, I didn't see the need to factory reset. Guess I'll try it unless someone else confirms Jumbo Frames are not an option on the AX88U-Pro. I did...

Didn't find a thread that discusses Jumbo Frames on the AX88U-Pro. I upgraded to the AX88U-Pro from the AX86U which explicitly allows the selection of jumbo frames in the firmware. The AX88U-Pro Merlin firmware doesn't have the settings to enable/disable jumbo frames. Does anyone know if this...

FYI - I upgraded my AX86U to the AX88U-Pro and now use the AX86U as a mesh device. I too was offered 1 Gb from my ISP and took it. As primary router, the AX88U-Pro gives me 944 Mbit / 40.4 Mbit consistently on speed tests without VPN (But all AI protections are enabled). So it should give you...

AX88U-Pro + AX86U (Mesh) - Dirty upgrade; All good so far.

AX86U dirty upgrade from 3004.388.5. So far so good.

Upgraded from Beta 3 today. All Good.

AX86U - Upgraded to beta earlier today. No issues to report. Working perfectly for me.

From my AX86U...

I did the same when the AX86U was first released and am running Merlin on it. Very happy. Its been rock solid and performs great. I have Cox cable/internet with 500 Mbit/10 Mbit (down / up). While the upload speed sucks, I don't need Gigabit speed/price to get the higher uplink speed. The AX86U...

Wow! Never ceases to amaze me just how much work it takes and the dedication you have for maintaining this project. The Merlin user community certainly appreciates it. Thank you so much for your status update. Take care and stay safe. Regards, Jims S.
