RT-AC68U

Power user or not, the biggest advantage of going FT on your router is that Asus declared it EOL beginning of 2024 and there will be no more firmware fixes or updates. Even though Asus did in fact release firmware security fix last year for it, it's not a guarantee. Many old, EOL routers are still u

It is as if you were closing your eyes and asking someone what are the benefits to open the eyes... there is a lot of possibilities with Tomato firmware i am using it on my Ac66uB1 since many years and i prefer it...With ac68u /66UB1 there is no brik risk... you can easily switch from asus firmware

finding out the ac68u supported freshtomato was the reason i got back into it. "it just works", no real forumsurfing to get things going. Then the gateway drug starts. currently im running tomato64 on a glnet flint 2 so i can do 2gbs.

OP I'm experiencing a different issue but only on Apple hardware. Recently upgraded from Asus RT-AC68U to ASUS RT-BE88U to support my new fibre connection. Always ran Merlin firmware on them too.

If you wire your nodes or satellite devices your performance will be faster and more stable. I have tested my internet speed directly wired to the router and to a node, and there was little or no difference in speed. However, wiring a house can be expensive. Over 15 years ago before the word mesh wa
