What are the benefits of switching to freshtomato for the asus rt-ac68u

Keeps the router up-to-date as far as security. I have to TMo versions running FT. Last Black Friday I bought a new Asus to upgrade the wifi standards. Nothing but problems. Returned it and plugged my trusty AC68U FT back in. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Post 1000mbit from ISP - how to squeeze the most out of it using XE75Pro?

What else is in front of the AC-68u? The ISP speeds you’re talking about (1,000 —> 1,200 Mbps) sound like DOCSIS cable speeds, so is there a cable modem (or ISP router in bridge mode) sitting in front? For simplicity, I will call this device a modem (even though it may be an ISP gateway device) sinc

Como escolher um roteador? (eeeeeeeeeeeee)

Repostando meu comentário em sua postagem apagada no hardware Brasil: BE550, da TP LINK. substituiu um AC68U de 12 anos, e estou bem satisfeito. parrudo, portas 2.5 com agregação de link, wifi7, tudo que eu busco numa máquina. loja oficial TP LINK no ML tem o melhor preço. se não estiver, acompanhe.

Asus RT-AC66U B1 Ver 2

AC68U is near identical to AC66U_B1, so that checks. Haven't tried it, though. Went with the alternative fresh tomato instead.

Sep 2025 NBN speed update

This is already an issue, just because a router is 1Gbit, doesnt mean its processor can handle that throughput, case in point my old Asus RT-AC68U. It is a gigabit router, but throughput with features turned on max out the CPU and you only get about 700mbit from the WAN. Lots of people with old jank

Reason why router needs more frequent rebooting for some devices to connect?

I have two RT-AC68u routers and I eventually had to auto schedule weekly reboots because of that. No matter how many updates Asus came out with, it never got better. I finally switched to opnsense for a router this year and use my AC68u in AP mode for wireless and now I don't have to do reboots. Eve

Don't see a good reason to upgrade Asus RT-AC68U other than updates

Ive had one for a while too - until area offered 2Gig Fiber - so i needed to upgrade the router since ports were only 1gig (and everything else in the house also eneded refreshing to support to at least 2.5g) to achieve advertised speeds;So I ended up getting into pfsense on a minipc with dual SFP+

Keep losing internet but modem is on

The lan wifi is horrible. I connected an old asus ac68u and have much better .... lan activity. I just upgrade from the sagecom to the g5ar and the local lan is to say the least.. a cluster fuck. The wan speeds are faster to the tmo internet... but after a week of lan work with the g5ar I am having

Dynamic IPv6 firewall configuration

i found a used asus rt ac68u and damn it's a sweet deal. i get a flash storage of 256mb to experiment with openwrt packages... The problem is though that it has broadcom drivers, so no wifi, so i had to use a dumb ap. seeing a lot of people use openwrt is so wholesome!
