Applied, been up 23 days, seems stable, no issues for me though I run a pretty basic environment, "1" AiMesh node (AC68U on old firmware).

Well I did re-do my login pwd to make it > 10 characters. I also got around to changing some legacy smart devices to finally disable UPnP, (i.e. manual port fwd) saved all & then applied firmware. Been 4 days, no issues noticed, AIMesh nodes back online fine (older ASUS routers I use as AIMesh...

Any reviews on this rev?

Any early adopters have anything to report?

Does Merlin support MESH? I have an older AC68U in MESH & one of the only reasons I don't just abandon ASUS firmware altogether.

Indeed what is the point if the unit cannot stay up more than 8 hours? Which is worse the rebooting from the malware or the update? There is no reason for such shoddy testing of updates. It is this type of unprofessional integrity why no regular folk or SOHO's update anything & why critical...

I have expressed frustration to ASUS's ombudsman over quality of firmware. I know this stuff is SOHO level quality but certainly more testing should be taking place. I have patched HP Procurves, Aruba, CI$CO, Allied Telyson, numerous brands of firewalls & the like & no way have I seen such...

I see two responses on ASUS site, both closed for follow up that there was issues. I was looking here as well for any input. Quick review of this specific update, nothing so critical that I can opt to wait for a more stable newer release...

I've never had the desire to mess with that control channel setting. Mine is auto & seems fine though I am only responding to say it is currently on 149 (>112).

For the RT-AC68U, I consider the "3.0.0.4.386_48262" as the last known stable firmware for my unit to be in AiMesh node mode connecting to a GT-AX11000 as the master. I saw your post from the other thread where I was also curious to others that have their 68U's in AIMesh node mode (I assume the...

Keep us posted, I took the plunge tonight (June 12/2023), came back up fast (too fast maybe, that concerns me) & connected right back with the AiMesh node, no issues there (that concerns me too!). Been a long time since I had a firmware update from ASUS that wasn't a nightmare.

NE1 tried this firmware on a an AC68U in AiMesh node mode? I have basically given up, "3.0.0.4.386_48262" is the last known stable firmware version for these units I use with my GT-AX11000. In AiMesh node mode they only talk to the Master node anyways so security is less of an issue, they're...

Yes, as "Tech9" pointed out, this model is successful for many of us purchasing another ASUS router. Certainly I am satisfied with the "hardware" itself (reliability). The issues with firmware for myself go back 6+ months on two models & this forum is full of others who have been bitten by what...

Intriguing indeed, will look at that solution. I haven't really been looking at CI$CO for some time, I just thought you were locked into their narrow minded solutions (their typical modus operandi). Seems they are a little more SOHO friendly, the management choice is certainly appealing. Thank you.

Point taken! What grief. To answer your other question about using better equipment, well yes, my PoE's are HP Procurves (8 port units no longer in production but lifetime warranty I'll get a better unit if these fail) & not all devices are PoE of course, I can enable / disable the ports as...
