Sorry for the question, I have an old AC56U that is becoming "instable" (a ten-years old machine could to this...), so I want upgrade to a new AX model.
A reasonable cost/price model for me should be the AX86S, but it is not a "supported model" by Merlin fw, despite the previous AC86U and the more powerfull AX86U are supported.

Someone is using the Merlin fw on the AX86S, probably installing the fw version released for the AX86U ?

On the official ASUS websites the two models seem to be very similar, the four main differences are:
- CPU 2-core (AX86S) vs 4-core (AX86U)
- 512MB RAM vs 1GB RAM
- second USB port is 2.0 on AX86S, 3.2 on AX86U
- leak of 2.5 GB WAN/LAN port on AX86S, with the leakness of the relative LED

Thank you in advance for any help/suggestion

Thank you Dave, I've read on the Merlin's home page the list of new fw release and stupidly I though it was the full compatibility list!!

I’ve turn them off via the app under management in the individual node but I’ve noticed they keep coming back on at some point. Edit: XT8 is the model I have.

I have the same problem

Does this update support Asus RT-AX55? If it supports, can I upgrade from official firmware 3.0.0.4.386_50460 to this update 388.1 without any issues?

Nope. See Merlin's wiki for a list of supported routers.

Got issue so far only with the AiMesh Page that was mentioned before, it initially shows no connection or clients connected, then after 5-6 times of hard cache reset it resolves.

So far, nothing else popped there

I had this message in the logs, I assume can ignore it but wanted to check?...

I have XT-12s and Xt-8 in my system successfully using the great merlin 388.1...but notice that on a fresh reboot my free memory is about 400mb but over a couple of week this slowly decreases until the other week I had 20mb free. What causes this and is there a quick memory release command I can telnet into the router. I used to have something for the RT-68U but those do not work with the XTs.

Apologies if I've missed the Q&A already but didn't see this.

Regards
Gary

Yes. You'll see it when it is posted.

Please provide information about your router-modell eg. in a signature. Without this information your post is worthless.

A short and quick information is helpful... But it is your choice .

How to correctly revert back to Merlin 386.72?

Given you are going a major release backwards, install the 386.7-2 firmware, then do a hard reset and set up manually.

 

[Dedel66]

No! First update/downgrade then reset.

Switched routers from RT-AX86u-PRO > ROG GT-AX6000 and am able to run Merlin 388.1 stable now for that last hour. Time Machine even works. Unfortunately that was not the case for the 86UPro.
