Flash this router to an AC68U or AC68P using http://www.bayareatech
When using the stock Asus firmware, may indicate new firmware is available Version 3.0.0.4.384.20624
dated 2018/03/26 (3.0.0.4.384_20624-g14d2f02). DO NOT INSTALL 3.0.0.4.384_20624-g14d2f02!!!
3.0.0.4.384_20624-g14d2f02 breaks the AiMesh and it is no longer available. It also changes the CFE file on the router too and reverts the router back to an AC-1900
Latest firmware AC68U that works with AiMesh is Version 3.0.0.4.384.20308 dated 2018/02/01 (RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_384_20308-gead790e.trx)
If you happen to install the Version 3.0.0.4.384.20624 dated 2018/03/26 (3.0.0.4.384_20624-g14d2f02), you have to start all over again.

When the current AiMesh (version 3.0.0.4.384.20624) is installed on one of these, it re-flashes the CFE and shuts-off AiMesh.

3.0.0.4.384_20624-g14d2f02 breaks the AiMesh and it is no longer available. It also changes the CFE file on the router too. There is much discussion on this over on SNB in the following two threads.

If one wants AiMesh to work they currently (unless things change) need to stay with CFE 1.0.2.0 US aimesh and CFE 1.0.2.5 US (RT-AC68P/V2) and stay with firmware 3.0.0.4.384_20308-gead790e.
That said, jumped aboard for another one of these routers after buying one from the previous Hot Deals.

Can be flashed to stock ASUS AC68U, Merlin, etc
Compatible with AIMesh
http://www.bayareatech
i'll probably try to get aimesh working again soon, and maybe buy a third one so i can have a reliable connection on the second floor (the access point is located on the first floor, and the connection gets dropped every now and then).
while i don't own google wifi, based on what i've read about them, they will be much more user friendly (especially out of the box), and probably have better performance. asus still needs to fine-tune aimesh.

How do they manage to do that? When you flash it, you effectively turn it into an ac68u, it has the same exact internals.

Aimesh cfe was released a little over a month ago. It should work, albeit a little flaky
Used online instruction to flash it to Merlin build and it has been running like a champ. You can find several instruction online but pay attention to your router version and do your research. Here is an example instructions.
