FYI
Just did an attended sysupgrade upgrade from 24.10.3 -> 24.10.4.
Worked flawless.

Does 2.5G work? ima getting this device soon.
Yes.
Note: Asus has discontinued the AX4200/AX6000 globally, so hurry if you can find it in stock. Replacement is BT6/BT8.

Yes. They both have the 802.11be standard.
Here is the difference :

Upgrade wasn't the issue. Short version: potentially bad flash on one unit due to my switch's "anti-DoS" setting. Stable for weeks, then just randomly started bootlooping. Soft and hard resets did nothing. Failsafe mode still worked but no fix worked.
For catastrophic recovery (or bootloader upgrade):
- Enter recovery (turn off, hold reset, turn on, wait for LED top light to turn red, release reset button)
- Flash remittor's UBI cleaner TRX via Asus recovery software (unit will stop bootlooping after this)
- Flash latest Asus firmware via Asus recovery software
(Set IP: 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0) - Enter Asus router OEM software and flash remittor's 24 latest TRX.
- Enter openwrt and flash latest openwrt sysupgrade.
Note: Asus recovery software is windows only AFAIK.
I can confirm that you can move from the old bootloader to the new bootloader via this process. These units seem unbrickable. Hopefully this solves my issue.
This is yet a reminder to everyone here to download the above--just in case you need it.
Maybe someone put the above in the wiki for Asus filogic units?

Any benefit installing the new bootloader?
My TRX images don't change the bootloader! To install the stock firmware, you can use the facinstall package or install my custom OpenWrt firmware.
I know. #3 is flashing ASUS latest firmware TRX which includes the new bootloader.
#2 is your UBI cleaner TRX not the correct way back to OEM?

None that I could find. I can only really confirm you won't hard brick them upgrading to new. Note: Asus removed all old firmware with old bootloaders. ASUS TUF-AX6000 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_33419 is the oldest for me (has new). Going from new -> old will likely end up in a brick. A warning should be added to all asus filogic units in the wiki.
24 hours later on OEM, my unit is still randomly bootlooping and now also putting out coil whine. I filed an RMA. This unit was from Amazon USA in case anyone else is having issues. My Asus.com store USA units all work fine.
Hi folks. Sorry if this was asked before but I have both AX4000 and AX6000 and I can not set any 5G wifi using 160 Hz. My country is Canada and it seems to disable my 5G SSID. I think this may be a known bug but just wanted to know if this is something that doesn't work at all
help needed and thanks in advance!
sysupgrade crashed and failed on master branch build. same crash reported months ago.
studied sysupgrade scripts, itâs failed on exec /bin/busybox ash -c "$COMMAND" of /lib/upgrade/stage2
sysupgrade in the initramfs mode by serial console tufts, is no problem and ok. I don't know what is the difference and need your kindly help. or, if there is any workaround to do sysupgrade instead of serial console tftp?

10 out of 10 stars for RMA. No mention of openwrt after flashing OEM; however, my unit was very broken so they may not have attempted any repair. Asus has no stock and for some reason a $400 broadcom ROG unit was the replacement. Was able to choose BT8 instead.
Still no clue on what went wrong. Continuously low uptime is the only real warning sign.
A little update on my device. A week ago (no configuration changes, nothing changed in network) all my gaming PCs went into losing 20-25% packets in CS2. Both were wired to 1Gb switch ports. Packet losses were reported only in download path. Switching them to external unmanaged switch connected to 2.5Gb LAN port make them behave normal again. I tried to replicate packet loss using iperf3 to a VPS box and there was no packet loss reported with the tool, so, I assume that it was not packet loss, but rather packet corruption reported as packet loss, because the game was not able to decrypt/verify packets. What is really odd is that it just happened one day after long period of the setup being stable. I did update to 24.10.5 from 24.10.4 while trying to mitigate the issue - didnât make any difference. For now I will just not use 1 Gb ports.
