Release ASUS RT-AC86U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_52294 (2025/10/28)

[Tech9]

1. Install YazDHCP if your FW supports it.
2. Drag and drop custom_clientlist and dhcp_staticlist from/to /jffs/nvram/.
3. Same as 2 but using command line export/import of file contents via SSH.

Option 1 (needs SCP) and Option 2 (needs Asuswrt-Merlin) are not available in stock Asuswrt. Option 3 is available.

This need happens instantly with RT-AC86U. Most die after internal voltage regulator failure without any prior trouble warnings. You get Power and half lit LAN4 LED. Replace before it happens. The chance of failure is higher than any other ASUS model.

While I respect your opinion of course, mine are not broken, so I'm not fixing them. Especially when they work virtually 100% of the time i.e. there's no fiddling at all which frankly surprises me i.e. I'd been warned Aimesh is not perfect, but I've not found that to be the case.

I had this fw installed at my node RT-AC86U. It was not stable in mesh setup with RT-BE86U main router, which has Merlin fw. Newest fw to RT-BE86U was not stable either.
