@UK Sentinel: Are there interested users which like to possibly get Merlin on DSL-AC88U?

Do you have contacts to Asus and maybe they would provide as testing unit to GNUton?

Seems he did a great job on DSL-AC68U and someone can assume he would do the same for DSL-AC88U or DSL-AC3100.

I can ask, but apart from RMerlins input via RT units, ASUS DSL would be fairly closed.

I will ask, but assume so many confidentiality clauses have to be signed, life is not worth living ;-)

BTW – Has @RMerlin or @ColinTaylor commented upon his work ?

they even made it sticky as first post in Merlin-forum:

And Merlin has been helping him, now he got it on his own.

Early days for GNUton, but hopefully he will gain traction.

@Grisu – do you have any idea if GNUton will be working on the DSL-AC88U, as this will be the one to watch – and I would even give it a go ;-)

Alas from ASUS, not heard back regarding a loan DSL-AC88U,  so I could  loan/lend him mine for a while ?

Sorry, but it seems there will be no way in the next future to support DSL-AC88U with Merlin-features.

They used a very different HW-architecture for this modem-router and all the work Merlin has done cannot be ported to this model, similar situation like for ROG GT-types.

A pitty but we have to forget this project for now.

I know DSL-AC88U will be the future Asus modem with much more DSL-features for faster lines – bad news for the community.

Such a shame, The DSL-AC88U could do with the RMerlin touch ;-)

Thanks for update, I may move  this thread back into main ASUS Forum, as It is on hold, not possible ;-(

Bad news for ASUS DSL-AC88U users and community
