RT-AC68U - Last rites

PeterLiljedahl

Occasional Visitor
Asus recently released an update for this old device which is fantastic in itself.
Dear Merlin, will you always give this router the last rites whenever Asus do so?.
Also, I read that you removed the Aicloud crap from your firmwares because it
caused so many security issues.
Will you do the same with RT-AC68U family firmware if updating it?.
Kindly Peter
 
This question has been asked multiple times, the answer is always the same. RMerlin has no plans to release any more firmware updates for the RT-AC68U (or any other models that use the 3.0.0.4.386 firmware branch).
 
Will you do the same with RT-AC68U family firmware if updating it?.
If you need or want the security updates provided by later Asus updates for EOL routers, then update to the Asus firmware. RMerlin has repeatedly made it clear that support for 3004.386.x EOL routers ended December 2024. There has not been any indication since then, despite ample opportunity to do so, of reversing that decision to end 3004.386.x support and provide another round of 3004.386.x updates on top of the time that is spent updating non EOL 3004.388 series and the expanding 3006.102 series of routers.

RMerlin explained, back in 2024, their plans regarding separate version branches (3004.386, 3004.388 and 3006.102).
