does the hardware of v2 differ much to v1?

[gnuton]

@Roki100 IIRC Asus has just updted the 5Ghz, but for merlin, it's a completely a new model/terget.

Any date of alpha release ? :)

[gnuton]

@bdkacz no ETA yet. Hopefully it will come with the next release. The next release should have alpha soon for the other models.

I had to get around a few issues since this is using very different SDK than V1. But here we have the first screenshot

I'm happy to see that the development is progressing. All the best and I hope we can test a first version soon

Beta images are out

I've been testing it since it was released, so far no problems and finally QoS works as it should, because it was average with the original firmware
