[D_McD_EMS_USMC]

Did a clean install of the new ASUSWRT-Merlin firmware (beta) for GT-AXE16000-no issues so far. Get this new firmware along with release notes here:*https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AGY2taGX02nVmWA&id=CCE5625ED3599CE0%211427&cid=CCE5625ED3599CE...

Does the AXE16000 have the same kernal panic issues as the AXE11000? I have 2 AXE11000s and they have the kernal panic issue that so many others seem to have. If the AXE16000 does not have this issue I'm going to swap them out for two of those.

If you mean does it randomly reboot because of a kernel panic issue I haven't experienced it. Uptime over 24 days.

That is amazing. Looks like I'm swapping out these two 11000s for 16000s. Thank you!

I'm currently running two 16000's and be forewarned there are some gremlin's occassionally, but the setup is a beast. I'd suggest waiting till the next firmware and or once problems have been ironed out.

Some issues other's are experiencing: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/gt-axe16000-owners-thread.79334/page-10

I don't have two so I can't promise no bugs, but I can share my experience with it and an AXE11000. House is on 2.5 Gbps hardwired backhaul.

I am happy with the setup. The AXE11000 has a single 2.5 Gbps port, so my WAN was capped at 97x Mbps. We pay for asymmetric 1 Gbps download 40 Mbps upload. After switching to the 2.5 Gbps WAN I consistently get 106x - 107x Mbps on the ASUSWRT test.

No troubles so far. See speed test page attachment.
