DSL-AC88U - Firmware maturity question and stability vs DSL-AC68U

[Flotueur]

Oh nice, is that a recent build? I am asking because I couldn't find any reference of it anywhere!(including asus website) and Asus support didn't know about it about a month ago.

DSL-AC68U: https://www.asus.com/Networking/DSLAC68U/HelpDesk_BIOS/
for DSL-AC88U you will have to be patient and wait, still not supported and they are working on it.

The DSL-AC88U does not run Asuwrt, therefore AiMesh support is highly unlikely to ever happen.

Thanks for your input! If the dsl-ac88u is not running Asus wrt, what is it running?

Another firmware, maybe it was developed by another company... I don't know the details, only that the source code was not the regular Asuswrt code.

I think that device's firmware is based on OpenWRT.

Thanks guys you stopped me buying the DSL-AC88U (I'd read good things about it) and potentially being very annoyed I signed up just to say thanks.
