    ASUS RT-N66U Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.374.2239

    Anyone tried the new firmware yet? Curious if this release will improve wireless performance over previous stock versions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Confused: RT-N66W vs Netgear WNDR3400v2

    So I flashed to Merlin 36 beta sd5k yesterday. Gained 10db in signal at my farthest point right out of the gate. 5ghz is performing well, pulling full internet speed from the modem at 30ft. However, I'm still struggling with 2.4 at my farthest point. This point is on the opposite side of the...

    Confused: RT-N66W vs Netgear WNDR3400v2

    First time flashing the Asus, can anybody point me to a link for flashing instructions with Merlin or is it as basic as stock firmware since that is the basis? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I thought about shelling out the money for a Netgear R7000 but don't think I'll have the need for AC anytime soon and am afraid I'll be disappointed with my 2.4 laptops and iPhone. The other alternative is tapping into the coax line to move the WNDR3400 to a more central location or running...

    Confused: RT-N66W vs Netgear WNDR3400v2

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that before giving up. I was so mad last night I had it back in the Amazon box ready to go back!

    Confused: RT-N66W vs Netgear WNDR3400v2

    So after lots of frustration in trying to determine which router reviews I can trust, I decided to bank on SmallNetbuilder. It drives me crazy that every review on every website is so completely different. One says a router is great and the next website says it is terrible. Long story short...
