    Unable to flash Merlin on RT-AX58U

    Hmm not that I can see, the box says operating frequency is only 2.4GHz and 5GHz (same as in the web GUI): They do mention Broadcom Quad Core 1.7GHz though (the BCM6755 you linked is 1.5GHz):

    Unable to flash Merlin on RT-AX58U

    According to the ASUS support, the main difference is the chipset: V1 uses BCM6750 V2 uses BCM6756 They also said that the tech spec and firmware page is being worked on and should be published soon. Looking at https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/Broadcom/SoC the difference seems quite significant...

    Unable to flash Merlin on RT-AX58U

    It says it's the latest version. I've already contacted ASUS support to ask about their most recent stock firmware not working with this model (and also about the hardware differences in V2), but got no response so far. To be honest, I'm considering returning this router to look for a V1, but...

    I don't see it, but it's an European model so I'm not sure they even use that here.

    This is actually a different router than the one you linked, it's RT-AX58U. I can't even find the spec for the V2 on ASUS website, only the main version exists.

    Unable to flash Merlin on RT-AX58U

    I've looked at the back of the router again and noticed this "V2" in the router model that does not show up in the GUI. Could this be causing the problems?

    Unable to flash Merlin on RT-AX58U

    Still no luck... I've tried Chrome (disabled extensions), Firefox and Edge (no extensions), I've tried upgrading from Ubuntu notebook also with Chrome and Firefox - same thing. I've tried upgrading to the alpha version (RT-AX58U_386.4_alpha2-g952c6bdecc_cferom_puresqubi.w) and also tried to...

    Unable to flash Merlin on RT-AX58U

    Hey! I've just upgraded my old TP-Link router to an ASUS RT-AX58U and wanted to flash it to Merlin right away. So I've downloaded the firmware (RT-AX58U_386.3_2_cferom_pureubi.w), verified the SHA256 hash with certUtil, uploaded the file via ASUS admin panel (connected via Ethernet), waited the...
