RT-BE58U Firmware

[jplw]

The latest RT-BE58U firmware was 3.0.0.6.102_39342, but it is only for HW Version 2.0, amd was released ls November. The prior update came out for the A1 HW version 3 days after the update for V 2.0, however, as of Jan 17, 2026, there is no equivalent A1 update. Does anybody have an idea why this might be? Or, for that matter, know the differences between the HW Versions?

Asus RT-BE58U...?

Hi. What are the chances of getting Merlin firmware for this model? I noticed that RT-BE58 GO does have the firmware. Can it be used also for RT-BE58U...?

TUF-BE3600 V1 vs V2

Any idea what are the hardware difeerences between the two? I see ASUS has split firmware revisions, so there must be some major change behind this.

AFAIK, they swapped the SoC from BCM6764L (HW V1) to BCM6764 (HW V2). I'm not sure what else changes ASUS made.

They seem to be staggering the updates. I would have to guess the hardware/CPUs are close enough that A1 and V2 do not ever get the same _xxxxx.

EDIT: See XT8s get the exact same for each version:
