OpenWRT or Unmanaged switch?

When j looked it up a while back they said openwrt somehow doesn't support ac68U's with radio. Haven't followed up on that as that really didn't bother me much. I have 5 mx3800 that gives full WiFi 6 coverage of my home. I don't need more WiFi 5 signal to crowd the airwaves. I chose Batman in the be

RT-AX55 Limitations vs RT-AC68u

TL;DR: Since you stated you need Adaptive QoS, then you should probably leave the RT-AC68U as the router, add the RT-AX55 as a mesh node and call it a day.

What wireless access point is good for a mini pc router with opnsense

I had an AC68U running Merlin and had no issues hitting gigabit speeds on 1gig symmetrical fiber. I disabled the AP function on it and used an Omada EAP670 for better coverage in my house. You really should consider upgrading as both Asus and Merlin no longer offer security updates for this router.
