My old Netgear XR500 running DumaOS had a similar journey. It started out brilliantly, and I really liked its unique QoS and Geo-Filter features. However, over time the focus shifted towards a new direction, and unfortunately the XR500 reached end of life before Netduma fully realised that vision.
I’m not suggesting ASUS will do the same, but it does remind me of how software platforms can evolve, sometimes leaving existing features in a transitional state for quite a while.
That’s why I’m ASUSWRT-Merlin and supported forks all the way.

I have had feedback from ASUS and the lack of availability of ‘Bandwidth Setting’ for the BT10 is not a bug.
ASUS also say that the new QoE should be available to the BT10, but at the moment there is no schedule.
Off the record, and this is only my personal opinion, it seems as though ASUS is transitioning from Adaptive QoS to Adaptive QoE. As is often the case with agile software development involving multiple software vendors, the transition appears to be happening in stages, with some compromises and caveats along the way.

August 3, 2026 at 5:42 pm in reply to: TalkTalk Sells 120,000 Customers to Rise Fibre Over Debt Pressures TalkTalk has transferred roughly 120,000 broadband subscribers to startup Rise Fibre in a sudden move to address its Β£1.4 billion debt pile. The transition officially took effect on 1 August... #43121Interestingly, I believe TalkTalk Users were not notified before the transfer to Rise Fibre, which was finalised as an overnight transaction on 1 August 2026. Information regarding the migration was only provided following the closure of the deal.

From what I’ve seen, this appears to be a firmware/UI regression rather than an intentional feature removal, and it isn’t limited to the ZenWiFi BT10. Users with several recent Wi-Fi 7 ASUS routers (including RT-BE and TUF BE series) have reported that Adaptive QoS no longer lets you manually enter your WAN upload/download bandwidth.
On many of ASUS’s newer firmware releases, particularly for newer Wi-Fi 7 and AI routers, they are moving away from the traditional Adaptive QoS model and replacing it with Adaptive QoE (Quality of Experience).
I will drop ASUS a message and see what the plans are in this are ?

July 31, 2026 at 8:52 am in reply to: ASUS Router Security Update: Fixes Already Available for Impacted Devices ASUS has just published a security advisory covering vulnerabilities affecting some of its router firmware platforms. The issues could potentially allow attackers to carry out unauthorised actions on affected devices... #43103Alas ASUS does not publish effected an effective devices list as such as they (ASUS) tend to fix issues before they are then released to the public domain.
Does seem as though ‘ASUS ZenWiFi BT10 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_39110’ addresses this CVE-2026-13385.

July 26, 2026 at 7:16 pm in reply to: New Official Update: FRITZ!OS 8.25 Released for Multiple FRITZ! Devices [Stable) AVM has officially released FRITZ!OS 8.25, a major stable production firmware update rolled out globally across their hardware ecosystem.Β . This independent release replaces older 8.0x/8.22 branches and introduces massive... #43082I did read this also the other day, great news that AVM (FRITZ!) has officially kicked off the experimental FRITZ!OS 8.40 Labor (beta) branch, which serves as the testing ground for the next wave of feature upgrades.
Major Features in FRITZ!OS 8.40 Labor- Native DNS Filter Lists: The headline feature is a built-in ad, tracker, and malware blocker operating directly at the DNS level. It allows users to import public adlists and block malicious domains natively across all devices on the network, effectively mimicking a Pi-hole setup without needing external hardware.Β
- Expanded Matter Support: While AVM introduces Smart Home routines with multiple “if-this-then-that” triggers in 8.40, advanced models like the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro and 7690 continue to see expanded implementation of the Matter and Zigbee smart home standards.Β
- Real-Time Traffic Prioritisation: The software automatically identifies and prioritises latency-sensitive data like video conferences and online gaming, showing real-time metrics on the web interface.Β
- Smart Home Overload Switching: Compatible smart plugs (like the FRITZ!DECT 200/210) can now be programmed to automatically switch off if an attached appliance draws too much power for too long.

Good advise, yes mines either faulty or fake, considering I originally obtained them via an online market place, then Fake is more likely

I was young then

So finally got around to mounting the Reolink TrackMix WiFi 4K PTZ Wi-Fi 6 Dual-Lens Security Camera and thought I would share a picture.

The camera is mounted higher than originally planned because I live in a cul-de-sac and my neighbours asked if it could also cover the areas around their properties. Mounting it at a greater height provides the wider field of view needed to achieve this. However, the trade-off is that it is less able to capture faces clearly at eye level.
Fortunately, a couple of our neighbours, including myself, have smart doorbell cameras. If anything untoward were ever to happen, we could, if necessary, use the footage from these cameras to assist. As they are mounted at eye level, they are also more likely to capture clear facial images than my CCTV camera.

Edit; Now also seems to be fixed is the issue with wifi devices (apple) connected at range (weak signal) then lose access to the internet for a few seconds at random interviews and then this scenario repeats a few minuites later, especially my iPhone 16 Pro when Iβm at one end of the house streaming music etc.
Early days yet, but a positive start.

No problem, what router you thinking of upgrading to at some point ?

ASUS BE routers usually get at least four years of updates, and ASUS often goes beyond that timeline with their hardware.
ASUS BE routers that support LANβside VLAN ID configuration I believe are:
- RTβBE96U
- RTβBE88U
- RTβBE86U
- GTβBE96
- GTβBE98
- GTβBE98 Pro
- GTβBE19000
Even if two ASUS routers use the same WiβFi name and password, your devices still treat them as different networks. Each router has its own unique βidentityβ, so when you show up at the other place your phone wonβt autoβconnect until you tap it once. After that it remembers it, but when you go back to the first property youβll need to do the same again. Matching the SSID doesnβt make two separate routers look identical to your devices.
itβs easier to just use a different SSID and password for each location. That way your devices donβt get confused, and theyβll autoβconnect straight away whenever you arrive.
Old BT Routers was far less fussy
