ROG Rapture GT-BE19000

[Gregory Phillips]

will this be sold in the US??

I wonder the same thing but have noticed that they do not have a US product page for it.

Will there be Merlin FW available for GT-BE19000 ?

Just get RT-BE96U with Asuswrt-Merlin support and call it a day.

RT-BE96U is not sold in my country, while GT-BE19000 is. But they seem to be identical twins, except red case?

They are different model devices. Firmware is not interchangeable. GT-BE19000 doesn't have Asuswrt-Merlin support and nothing guarantees it will get support in the future. If you need Asuswrt-Merlin firmware you have to select one of the supported models.
