Anyone who has the 86u, should I keep the stock firmware or is it worth it upgrading to merlin? I was using merlin on my t-mobile asus 68u and it was great.

It is 2 years old. Unless you need 8 LAN ports, AC86U is better.

there are quite a few differences in those models. A better comparison would be the AC3100 (ac3150), the 88U is the same except it has 8 Ethernet ports. AC3100/3150 often goes for about 200$ on...

I flashed merlin on mine right out of the box. you may want to go with 382.1_2 for now. I've had a minor issue or two since updating to 384.3. I can't be sure my issues are the firmware though.
