    Need to replace my AC68-U - what router is recommended for Merlin's excellent firmware these days?

    Thank you for all of the helpful replies. The AX86 is currently on sale for around £250 here in the UK, but Amazon have an offer on the RT-AC86U for £105, so I might go for that instead. Other than Wifi6, what other features would I miss out on by going for the cheaper option?

    Need to replace my AC68-U - what router is recommended for Merlin's excellent firmware these days?

    Good afternoon everyone, My AC68-U that I have had since May 2014 could be slowly dying as I've had to restart the 2.4ghz wifi a few times recently as nothing can connect to it even though devices can detect that it is broadcasting. It has given me 7 and half years of excellent service and I...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    Glad it wasn't just me experiencing this - I played around with options in the new firmware and couldn't get anything that would improve the single threaded throughput, re-installing an older firmware fixed it instantly though so you might want to roll back a version or two until they can get a...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    Latency increased by about 8ms on the latest firmware - both fast.com and speedtest.net use multithreaded downloads by default - so that won't provide useful information as multithreaded throughout is fine on the latest firmware and only single threaded seems to be affected

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    Since updating my AC68U to 384-4, I've encountered a significant drop in the single threaded speed test that is available at https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest. The maximum I've seen on the single threaded test is now 35Mbps, with the multiple threaded test maxing out my connection at...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66 is now available

    Thank you very much for your helpful reply, it has helped me narrow it down a little. What I've noticed, however, is that this was caused by a device that was on my network many months ago and this port forward is the UPNP port for Skype on that device. When I go in to the port forwarding part...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66 is now available

    Good evening, as a long time Merlin user I recently updated to 380.66_4 on my ac68u however I've noticed the following message in the system log every day: Jun 8 17:45:40 miniupnpd[844]: remove port mapping 16877 TCP because it has expired Jun 8 17:45:40 miniupnpd[844]: remove port mapping...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 is now available

    How can I get this firmware to show admin connection logins in the system log? On previous firmwares it would show all 'admin' logins and the IP address that they cam from?

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Could I ask for some help please as I seem to be stuck on this firmware fork on my ac68u. I've tried flashing to both the normal merlin firmware and a generic asus firmware and whilst they both take a couple of minutes to flash and say completed at the end, I remain on this fork and nothing...

    What latency do you get between an AC router and a AC adapter on a PC?

    Hi, I'm considering replacing my homeplugs with an asus ac router and an asus pcie ac card as part of a wider upgrade, but was wondering what are the typical ping times that users see between their ac router and an ac client as I typically get ping times of either 3 or 4ms via homeplugs...
