No, waiting for a first release. The funny thing is with my older Asus routers the FW was very stable so I stuck with that to have access to the management app and also for Mesh. Not sure if there is an app for the Merlin releases. Not a deal breaker. Also mine has been pretty stable, but needed to full reset after the FW update. Then for good measure I do a weekly auto reboot in the FW to clear out anything that might be getting stuck.
I think the main thing causing the troubles was the high cpu utilization. In my case 1 core was at 100% all the time and the others 50%+. After the FW update and reset I'm getting 20-30% and I have many IoT devices connected and a well utilized 1gbps connection.
The FW still isn't perfect, but if a device is at 100% or more too long that can damage it permanently to the point that a FW fix will be too late.
Spec and price wise this router ticks most of my boxes and I'd have to go to their $400+ range and still not get everything I want. That's why I'm being patient with the FW issues.
