I'd like to officially announce that Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.1 will support three Wifi 7 routers (one through Gnuton's fork):

RT-BE96U
GT-BE98_PRO
GT-BE98 (Gnuton)

@RMerlin It might be because it's early yet, but at least here there is only GT-BE98 (ROG variant) in the entire country, not one single shop sells RT-BE98 (sane(r) variant).

I checked both major price-searching sites and directly at all the shops I regularly shop computers-related stuff from.

@b9AcE Some countries still don't allow 6 GHz, which is why Wifi 7 device availability is limited in some areas. The GT-BE98_PRO for instance is for North America, while Europe gets the GT-BE98.

@RMerlin The places I checked currently only sell WiFi 7 models ToiletPaper-Link Archer BE550 or BE800 as well as ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98.
I'm not "in the market" myself, but just thought you'd wanna know for your considering as to whether to support the ROG variant or not, in some places it's possibly not an end-user choice but a choice made by the retailers and their manufacturer representatives.
