The GT-BE19000AI is not even out yet, so nobody knows.

If this new router had more RAM, that would be a good thing. And it would be very interesting, especially for those who have Merlin firmware and scripts

Hi there,

Will there be a Firmware soon for this Router?

Standard answer to that question is provided in the Asus-Merlin subforum's [FAQ] READ ME FIRST before posting a question.

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- It needs to receive frequent enough GPLs so I won't have to regularly skip it due to the GPL being outdated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.

I understand, Thank you.

4 GB are available to the router, and 4 GB are available to the separate AI board (the Docker engine).
