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.

Updating my home network
I believe Merlinwrt is much like the Asus stock (it's what Merlin is based off of) but with just a few added tweaks like better vlan configurations and multiple wireless lan configuration and SSH access and better firewall configuration, and VPN. That's pretty much the same with freshtomato, it give

Solução gratuita para acessar arquivos remotamente
Só arquivos? Se você tiver um router parrudo (meu AC68U velho de guerra tem!), instale um server FTP nele e configure um HDD ou flash drive na USB do router. Coloque seus arquivos lá e pronto. O problema que vejo é que alguns provedores bloqueiam acesso à porta 21, mas isso você dá um jeito. Se teu

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!

RT-AX55 Limitations vs RT-AC68u
TL;DR: Since you stated you need Adaptive QoS, then you should probably leave the RT-AC68U as the router, add the RT-AX55 as a mesh node and call it a day.

Very bad performance of new Asus Router RT-BE86U
I was thinking about upgrading my 2 routers from an AC68U (main router) and an AC66U (bridge) to 2 new BE86Us. My AC66U was on the latest Merlin FW but kept having issues. I found a newer official FW from asus and flashed that and performed a reset after the flash. It seems to be stable now. My AC68

ASUS RT-AC68U weird crashes during Milano-Cortina
Yeah, at some point I have to figure something out for my parents if they stay in their house. I have them set up with an ASUS RT-N66U router in the basement with two TP-Link AC routers set as APs, but a mesh system using gigabit Ethernet for backhaul would probably be better than the hodge-podge th

Router recommendations
I would say 2/3 on a scale of 10 :-) I can tweak router admin settings, set up VPN, but that's about it. I currently have two Asus RT-AC68U routers, although I tried to set them up in AI mesh mode (is that still a thing?) but couldn't and gave up.At this stage in life (two kids, one of which is a to

Third Party Router?
In that case, just buy a cable/FTTP router which supports DHCP Option 61. I know my 2 Asus routers in the past (RT-AC68U and RT-AC56U) have supported this in the WAN settings, although I'd make sure to check or buy from somewhere with a leniant returns policy.

Don't see a good reason to upgrade Asus RT-AC68U other than updates
I hope I'm not tempting fate here, but my RT-AC68U router has been great since I bought it new back in 2016. It just works, and is fast enough. I've also been using the Merlin firmware for quite a while for some of the additional features like VPN Server etc. and it'll be a sad day when it has to go
