A fork of the Asuswrt-Merlin third-party firmware that extends support to additional ASUS routers, including DSL and WiFi 6/7 models. It provides enhanced router firmware with all original Merlin features plus model-specific additions, built transparently in the cloud from open-source code.
Use cases
- install custom firmware on my ASUS DSL-AX82U router
- extend Merlin firmware support to more ASUS router models
- get advanced router features not available in stock ASUS firmware
- flash WiFi 7 firmware on GT-BE98 router
- replace stock ASUS router firmware with open-source alternative
- add VPN and advanced networking features to my ASUS router
When to choose
- you own a supported ASUS router model like DSL-AX82U, RT-AX82U, or GT-BE98
- you want Merlin firmware features on routers not supported by the official RMerlin builds
- you need a transparent, cloud-built firmware from publicly available source code
When to avoid
- your router model is not in the supported devices list
- you prefer stock ASUS firmware with official warranty support
- you want OpenWrt's package ecosystem rather than Merlin's approach
