    Asus firmware 380.858 ?

    Using the RT-AC3100 I preferred to use Merlins latest builds but both Asus and Mellins latest firmware IPv6 does not work any longer so I reverted back to Asus stock 380.858 firmware it runs rock solid on the router and IPv6 works correctly. Now my real question is there any known security...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 is now available

    Thats well and good but this fix or work around does not work as the Ram usage is still adding up. I can't wait till it hits 100% to see if you all are correct and will cause no issues. o_O Just looking through the GUI causes it to rise.

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

    Just do a complete factory reset and reconfigure after the install and you should be good to go..

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 is now available

    I understand Ram is meant to be used but that dont explain why it keeps slowly rising for no reason. I just noticed even if i click around the GUI for a few minutes making no changes to anything just looking around the Ram starts rising this makes no since what so ever very strange indeed. Again...

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    Yes just to give an example how poor Asus has there cooling of there routers. I have the 68U and a Netgear R-7000 both have almost the same hardware with the 7000 having a 1 ghz cpu the 68U 800 mhz cpu. The 68U runs at 78-80 C and the 7000 runs at 57-60 C for the cpu, you do the math the netgear...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 is now available

    Just a question using 56_2. I thought Merlin fixed the issue of Ram usage climbing day by day on this version but i am noticing every time i log in to the GUI it keeps slowly creeping higher and higher with no changes from me to settings. I am also aware this is suppose to be nothing to worry...

    AC68U CFE & Signal Strength

    There is a very simple way to over ride the CFE on all the new builds but i wont post this information because it will start a feeding frenzy and i will be flamed by the powers that be. I can say the info is already here on the forums if one can find it.

    [378.55 to 378.56_2 (on RT-N66U) question(s)]

    Also the broken power button has happened to many N66 owners there is a thread on the subject. There have also been a few reports of the power button breaking on the AC-68U as well. http://www.snbforums.com/threads/broken-power-button.13601/

    ASUS RTAC68U and a High Power 1000mW Wi-Fi Signal Booster

    You go buy an expensive stereo hook it up with no speakers (Load) crank up the volume and see how long the final transistors last... You sir dont know what your talking about. The same can be said for a router unhook the antennas if there is not some kind of safety circuit to shut off the PA's...

    RT-AC68U: lowering the wireless TX power

    Using any of the newer Asus or Merlin firmware on the 68U is already about as low as anyone would want to be even set at 100%.

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

    Dont shoot the messenger just quoting what John has said. A factory default reset is NOT required if coming from any level of the fork or Merlin 374.42 or 374.43 code. Coming from any other level does require a factory default reset after the code is loaded.

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

    No there is no reset required when moving from one fork version to the other.

    Thanks i finally got it to flash strange even the latest stock firmware would not work i ended up going back and flashing Merlin 378.53 it took then reset and flashed to 378.56 and it worked i have a feeling it had something to do with the boot loader update but who knows.
