not good deal bud, consider $153 for this vs. $225 for netgear orbi pro AX6000
While Orbi is better in performance, the merlin firmware and parental control/other extensive config for 86S.may help some!

Why spend over $200 on that Orbi when I already have an existing Asus router that I can make a mesh with this AX86S? Plus Asus will likely support their router with firmware updates longer than Netgear will for Orbi. And Merlin support for the Asus might make it even longer.

I don't even think AX86S is supported by Merlin, only the AX86U.

So, before I think of buying this router (ASUS - RT-AX86S) can anybody confirm if Merlin is supported on this device or not? Thanks.

Does this have any features (beyond AX) different than the AC86U I've used for years?
