Good morning,
Apologies if this has been asked before, I did a quick search and did not see anything specific to see if the RT-AC88U be configured to use the Pluggable 2.5G USB adapter for use as primaryLAN WAN.
I was reading this thread [Success] 2.5G USB on GT-AX11000 and had another read of Renjie's post Towards 2.5GbE (NBASE-T) on ASUS RT-AX88U with RTL8156B and Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 and wondered if this method could be applied to the RT-AC88U.
I'm far from an expert on things, but I think I could probably get the files compiled by following instructions and I do like to tinker with things from time to time. However, I would need to purchase the Pluggable adapter, and while not overly expensive, it might be a bit of a waste if I did not need it.
Part of me is wondering if it'd just be simpler to upgrade from the RT-AC88U to either an GT-AX6000 or RT-AX88U Pro (when they're readily available) both of which have 2 x 2.5GB ports on them.
