Solved RT-AX58U flashing Merlin failed

[FlyByWire]

Hi there,
I bought a new Asus RT-AX 58U (here). Trying to flash the Merlin fw (RT-AX58U_3004_388.7_0_puresqubi.w) failed. I already read, that the V2 of the router is not supported, but I think I bought V1 ?!

Any hints?
thanks!

Found this in the description:

RT-AX58U V2 AX3000 AiMesh

so it's V2.

so it's V2.

The info is on the label, on the unit. You don't need an Amazon description.

So, a non starter.

Run stock, your only option.

This V2 router is supported by GNUton.
