I cant believe I just bought it in amazon at 261 euros, and Do you know if there is any plan to bring Merlin to the new versión?

Sadly it’s firmware is too custom so no, not likely

Yes, I know. I think was a error because I talked with them because they charged me 5 euros more and later the price change to 320. But I did think that I could install Merlin.

I would sell it in Ebay for profit unopened and get the RT-AC5300 if I were you!

Yes... maybe I dont know, also I ordered a ASUS AC88U to China at 196 euros, I hope PP pay the shipping cost to chine. I buy this becouse for only 66 euros I have a better router and warranty in europe.

@RMerlin some plans to port Merlin to ASUS ROG AC5300, maybe if a lot of people have it?

I've been posting both on these forums and on Twitter for the past 4+ months that I had no intention to support this model...

Okey, thanks for your work. I don't follow you in twitter so I didn't know. But I hope you change your thinking.

I'd cry with you but only asus can change his mind, and the moment there are just to many reasons why it cannot be done, I know I'm sad to and I've come to terms with it.

Why asus is the problem? Will they change the firmware to one more "easy"?

Too many closed source parts basically Merlin is locked out of those parts, and asus doesn't release firmware source code at the same time as other units basically thier not releaseing many updates for the router compared to other models.
