Good information is that you can try test WED soon. Some patches were already pushed and merged to repo with mt driver.
WE have duplicated techpage. I already asked to delete duplicated one.
UPDATE:
patch merged to the mt75 driver main branch:
and to the OpenWRT main branch:

@patrykk Are you referring to A1 "version" page that @melroy89 added?
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/asus/asus_tuf_ax6000
vs
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/asus/asus_ax6000
For those who don't know:
Wireless Ethernet Dispatch (WED) is an extension of hardware flow offloading which can reduce CPU loads/increase routing throughput when wireless clients are active.
More about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/openwrt/comments/10lvauw/can_someone_explain_what_is_wireless_ethernet/
@patrykk I love when you come with good news! 
The more free CPU, the more creative ways to utilize it, like for SMB or hosting media files.
- Is WED on this SoC working in two directions, or it's only Ethernet -> WLAN?
- Will it work with SQM?

How did you manage to fix it? What was the missing piece - an old snapshot?
yes...old snapshot was problem :)))

We need to delete this page:
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/asus/asus_tuf_ax6000 or update this page, reassign to device page and add delete https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/asus/asus_ax6000
EDIT: already done.

Please don't use MY TRX images. They have "BROKEN" in the name because they are broken 
I havent had time to fix them. Please use images from @remittor
UPDATE: I tested WED stability. WED on the Asus TUF AX6000 looks stable. I tested only stability so cant confirm performance.
UPDATE2: I'm not sure but I feel that for me RX on client site is slower with WED enabled.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did see @remittor post on how to:
Device wiki page says:
How to connect to the Serial Port of this specific device:
You don't need to open the case or even soldering anything.
use three goldpin wires, remove their plastic cover and connect
them to the console pinout via the case holes.
I'm now really sure what this means or tries to explain. I think you DO need to open the bottom case cover to be able to access the goldpin wires, right? If I understand it correctly, it's not supported to flash OpenWRT using AsusWRT WebUI. If that is the case we need to connect to the serial port by connecting the console (RX, TX and ground) to those pins.
Why does this description mention you don't need to open the case?? You might not need to solder the wires, however I want to mention that soldering might be a good practice if you wish to achieve a good solid connection to the board. The last thing you want is a bricked device due to a loose connection. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Please explain, I might want to change this description under the "Serial" header so it's less confusing to me and others.
I didn't add those duplicate pages. This is a hardware data table, I also didn't duplicated them. Somebody (both patrykk and maurerle) created a duplicate/similar Asus AX6000 page indeed. But it seems that has been resolved, as mentioned by @patrykk.
With one wiki admin user, I deleted the old maurerle's page and renamed my page. AX4200 techpage have been also renamed.

Here is additional info on connecting thru serial:
Flashing (unofficial for now) thru Asuswrt web GUI is working per post from other members using @remittor's images I believe howver please correct me if I'm wrong. I will get TUF AX6000 later this week and ill be flashing it using remittor's images.
I haven't actually used the procedure, but AFAIK you only need the serial connection to trigger TFTP mode by sending a single character to the boot loader, so the chance of bricking anything by having an unstable serial connection is practically nil.

Hi,
I managed to install OpenWrt on my AX6000 using openwrt-23_tuf-ax6000-initramfs.trx and openwrt-mediatek-filogic-asus_tuf-ax6000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin found here.
It was painless and worked really well, for a while.
Then, suddenly, I lost all connection to the router, the LED switched to red (not blinking), with only the 2.5G LAN port and power LED turned on.
From there, I'm able to enter what I think is failsafe mode by pressing the reset button while the LED is blue during boot. The LED goes blue → press reset → blinking yellow → blinking red. This way I'm able to ping the router (192.168.1.1) if I manually set an IP on my PC, but I'm not able to SSH into it (ssh root@192.168.1.1 times out), so I'm not even sure if it's in failsafe mode.
I somehow managed to reset the device to the OpenWrt factory settings after trying to start failsafe mode several times, but I'm not sure exactly how I managed to reset OpenWrt. After setting up my router again, I could use it for a few hours with no issue, but now I again suddenly lost connection and am back to this red LED state.
Does anyone know what I could do to recover my router and prevent it from doing this again?

Can you specify which trx image you used (i.e.date file was created)? Hopefully you used the latest trx image.
I used the trx from December 9th and the squashfs from December 7th, which are both the latest on Google Drive.
Maybe someone else with more experience can chime in...maybe you have to enabled additional software. Are you able to restore back to the Asuswrt firmware using the procedure available?
Revert to stock AsusWRT:
Install package facinstall.
Install Asus stock TRX-image via OpenWRT LuCI interface.
Change computer IP-addr to 192.168.50.10 and wait 70...120 seconds
It's worth trying to install the official snapshot image of OpenWRT, because it uses a different kernel and the mt76 driver is highly modified.

Would that be mediatek_mt7986a-rfb-nand-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin or mediatek_mt7986b-rfb-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin?

I will try that if using the official snapshot fails.
Strangely, when I press the reset button a few seconds after the yellow LED starts blinking, I sometimes manage to get the factory OpenWrt (23.05.2 r23630-842932a63d) to boot.
