Already supported last year if I remember correctly

Yeah confirmed, just checked this in the webiste :

384.13 (31-July-2019)
- NEW: AiMesh Router and node support. Note that automatic live
update of Merlin-based nodes is not supported, you will have
to manually update any Merlin-based nodes when a new firmware
is available. Asus-based nodes (which is recommended) will be
able to make use of the automatic live update.

This QOS is very fanicky, in ac1300uhp with QOS on, I also cannot get full speed, but with AC86U no issue at all, works wonder.

Hope the dimension will help! It took me couple of weeks to trial & error, ordering copper shim from AliExpress.

Finally get the optimum contact between heatsink and CPU.

How to view the temperature?
