    Does ASUSWRT-Merlin's XT12 firmware support ET12?

    Still no hope of ET12 Merlin support correct?

    ET12 - S22+ not seeing 6E network?

    Still haven't found a way to get 6E / S22+ working. My S8 Ultra tablet with similar internal hardware (S8 gen 1 etc) has no issues connecting to 6E though.

    Does ASUSWRT-Merlin's XT12 firmware support ET12?

    Also interested. The ET12 1-pack really seems to be the sweet spot right now for a lot of users. Best high end options at different price tiers being GT-AX6000 ($350), then ET12 1-pack ($480) and then GT-AXE16000 ($700).

    ET12 - S22+ not seeing 6E network?

    My Samsung S22+ can't see my 6E / 6 Ghz network on my new ET12. 6E is working flawlessly on my laptop with AX210 so unsure what the Samsung issue is. Digging around online I see others reporting 6E issues on S22+ / S22 Ultra but the issues don't seem to have a lot of consistency to them and I...

    Does ASUSWRT-Merlin's XT12 firmware support ET12?

    Seriously. The ET12 is definitely the sweet spot for me too - really hoping it gets Merlin.

    AX86U vs GT-AX6000 vs ET12 (1-pack) ?

    The XT12 *did* get Merlin support so I thought the ET12 might at least not be dead last on the list of routers to support. I've attached 2x screenshots showing the current 2.4Ghz / 5Ghz WiFi congestion situation. Looks like only 1 neighbor is actually moved in ("fourtylove") and the rest of the...

    AX86U vs GT-AX6000 vs ET12 (1-pack) ?

    Agreed about GT-AXE16000 probably being more likely to get Merlin support, but $700 for a single router setup is mind bogglingly expensive even for 6E. I'd have no use for the 2nd 5ghz band or 2x10GbE either. Maybe the Merlin supported GT-AXE10000 will go on sale, but I don't expect to have the...

    AX86U vs GT-AX6000 vs ET12 (1-pack) ?

    I'm torn between AX86U, GT-AX6000 and an ET12 1-Pack. Prices are $250 / $350 / $480. I have 1gbps fiber I'd like to maximize, am in an apartment building with a lot of interference, use NordVPN, have an AX210 w/6E on my primary laptop and including that currently have 7x total devices to connect...

    Asuswrt-Merlin and Nordvpn

    If speeds using NordVPN are CPU limited do the newer Broadcom BCM4912 (2Ghz quad core w/16nm) and DDR4 in the XT12 offer a significant speed boost? Has anyone tested this? As far as I can tell the XT12 is the only Broadcom BCM4912 based Merlin compatible router since the other two (ET12 &...

    ZenWifi Pro ET12 Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 6ghz connection problem on node

    Does Tab S8 Ultra work on non-meshed 6Ghz if only using 1x ET12?

    ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Router for Sale

    The 2GB RAM is clearly labelled as DDR4 too, where it's not clear whether the ET12's 1GB is DDR4 or DDR3. When would 2GB RAM be useful vs 1GB though? Also, the 2x10GbE ports are intriguing, but what would an actual use case for 2x 10Gbe ports on a consumer grade router be? Are you expecting a...

    Does ASUSWRT-Merlin's XT12 firmware support ET12?

    I see XT12 model support listed on Merlin's About page, but no mention of the similar ET12 / 6E variant. Any chance XT12 firmware supports ET12? Some of the other firmware support multiple similar variants, but I'm unsure if these two are similar enough.

    ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Router for Sale

    Amazon also just started selling single ZenWiFi Pro AXE11000 ET12 units for $480 which have very similar hardware. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B27PSXGR/?tag=snbforums-20 Are there use cases where it makes sense to spend the extra $220 for the GT-AXE16000 if you don't need the GT-AXE16000's 2nd...
