NFS support missing for RT-BE86u in 3006.102.5 firmware

[zjarkov]

Has NSF support been removed in recent Asus Merlin firmwares?
I bought RT-BE86U as an upgrade, installed latest 3006.102.5 Asus Merlin firmware and found out I cannot have my usb flash drive as an NFS because the configuration for that part in web UI is missing :-(

NFS is not supported on that router.

  - NOTE: Wifi 7 devices don't support NFS (issue with new
          toolchain), QoS classification page (issue with
          TrendMicro BWDPI) or Wifi Radar (not updated by
          Broadcom).

Release - Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.2 is now available for Wifi 7 devices

Probably extremely low on your list (if at all) but would love to have the ROG GUI for the GT-BE98 Pro. ROG UI support was dropped in 3006: Post in thread 'ANNOUNCEMENT: Asuswrt-Merlin support underway for 3 Wifi 7 routers'...

Thank you guys.
That is indeed a bit unexpected. I am wondering whether there are any rumours about restoring the support at some point in the near future? Otherwise I am seriously thinking about returning the device :-(
