Hello.
When will we have versions for Asus AX series routers? Example RT-AX86U or RT-AX88U, etc.
Will this ever be possible? Are there technical limitations of broadcom?

The answer is in a sticky in this forum:

Sticky: AX Router support for BCM

Essentially, it is due to closed source proprietary driver binary object files that are compiled for a specific kernel family version with a specific gcc and libc version, which cannot be imported without going backwards many years in DD-WRT development. It would take a really crafty hack job just to make a working firmware image for these. Got to love "unresolved symbols"...
