Asus AX routers

[Rando]

Anyone know if Asus is planning a 4 port AX router that's cheaper than their RT-AX88U router?

Pricing has not been announced.

2x2 only. Look forward for AC86U - AX version.

There are only pennies to be saved by moving an RT-AX88U down to 4 LAN ports, since the switch is already part of the hardware stack.

What's the chance this Intel based 2x2 router RT-AX58U will get Merlin support?

@RMerlin would you ever get access to the mesh part of ASUS?

Q: Will Asuswrt-Merlin support AiMesh?
A: Highly unlikely, due to technical limitations caused by incompatibilities between my code, and Asus's closed source components for AiMesh.
