Thanks. I meant on an Asus switch.Merlin firmware only runs on specific Asus routers. It doesn't run on switches.
He's asking about a switch, not a wireless router.you can always turn the radios off. Then you have only the LAN/WAN ports and the routing function.
You're missing the point. He has a switch. He's doesn't have a router. For example:Understand. Since OP was wanting router functionality and to run Merlin, it would work though, at least if using the reliable 4 port models.
Yes you can.Noob question: Can I use a switch flashed with Merlin firmware and use it as a primary router (ie, a router without antennae)?
Such that all devices on a 3rd party mesh get their internet connection that goes through an Asus switch that itself is connected to the modem.
