Thanks for the reminder to switch to merlin firmware.

Will that let you download speeds greater than 160 mbps? The last time I tried Merlin, the ASUS router I had wouldn't download at full speed allowed by my internet connection?

I'm getting full speed (currently 290mbps on verizon 5g).

Our router doesn't support it (it's the V2 model)

Merlin has the problem that it doesn't have something like like aimesh where you can auto synch the config between all your routers. I've got a network of three Asus routers and they work great and I can admin them like they're one router, and I'd hate to have to give that to up.

Why do you have three routers? Even if you're doing complex routing, you should be able to do it on one device.

The other two are in AP mode and are not running as routers.

Why not just buy APs?
