Is RT-AC5300 my sole option for tri-band mesh and Merlin

[chichow]

My current setup is a RT-AC5300 and RT-AC88U both running Merlin 386 beta 4 and AiMesh.
The AC5300 is tri-band and the 88U is dual-band.

If I want to utilize a dedicated 5Ghz backhaul, then is the RT-AC5300 the only currently supported Merlin model with tri-band?

Thanks!

I used this page as referenced and googled and most of what I was coming up with was dual band routers though with faster CPUs and more memory

At this point, those are your only Merlin supported options.

If you are willing to use factory firmware then this may be your best tri-band solution.
