ASUS TUF Gaming AX6000​

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm if Asuswrt-merlin works on ASUS TUF Gaming AX6000 router? I need a upgrade to 2.5G ports and will only swap if the router can support merlin software.

Thank you,

Welcome to the forums @lpiddi.

No, RMerlin doesn't support that model.

The RT-AX88U Pro is what is recommended today, followed by the GT-AX6000.

Thank you for confirming. Just looking for the cheapest wifi6 with 2.5g ports

The two mentioned are the most bang for the buck when bought on sale. (2x 2.5GbE Ports, along with RMerlin support).

Q: Will you add support for model XYZ?
A: The decision whether or not to support a new model depend on a long list of factors, which may evolve over time. Right now:

- It needs to be Broadcom-based
- It needs to be widely available (not just in two or three countries)
- It needs to have high-end hardware so I don't have to fight with lack of flash or RAM
- It needs to receive frequent enough GPLs so I won't have to regularly skip it due to the GPL being outdated
- I need to have one
- I need to have the time to try supporting it
- I need to have the motivation to try supporting it

Each new model requires its own dedicated support. That means every time I work on a new firmware release, I have to work on each separate model, and I need GPL releases from Asus for each individual model, and I need to merge each of them separately. So that means if I support 10 different routers, then I need to merge in the content of 10 different GPL releases, and these need to be close enough to one another to still be compatible. The more models I support, the harder this is to accomplish, therefore I am VERY conservative regarding adding any new model.

So don't ask if/when a new model will be supported. I cannot speculate about future model support, and until I have working support for a model, I cannot answer that question.
