    Want to confirm before I buy - This is apperently a AC68u rebranded

Thinking about buying it and flashing Merlin (there is a detailed guide on how...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59 Beta 2 is available

    Awesome. Merlin only said for the AC58 and N66 so was wondering if the AC66 was included.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59 Beta 2 is available

    Was the AC66 binary updated to 2695 or is that still not available? They have the beta firmware up on https://www.asus.com/support/Download/11/2/0/84/LzShv8ma7TrQB4eO/30/

    $9 Router Cooling (RT-AC68U Example)

    I just got the fan cooler I ordered, they blow up not down (so it isn't drawing out it is blowing in). Edit: It isn't loud but you can hear a buzz from the fans... I would say it is working tho based on the temp drops I am seeing. Currently at 54/61 which better than before. I am currently at...

    $9 Router Cooling (RT-AC68U Example)

    That is why I own a shopvac! I never recommend blowing air in (like Canned Air) unless you can open it up so that you are sure the dust escapes and doesn't just get forced deeper in.

    $9 Router Cooling (RT-AC68U Example)

    The solution is simple, turn it upside down. Based on the photos the pad looks like it can be placed either blowing or drawing. I will see when I get it. I also find it a little difficult to believe it would "pull" air out of the laptop, almost every laptop I have taken apart using bottom draw...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.58 is now available

    What is needed to get the binary blobs? IF you need someone to flash their router and download I can do that, just need instructions.

    This is the AC66R not the AC68R

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.58 is now available

    It looks like asus released a beta 380 based firmware for the AC66R. Firmware version 9.0.0.4.380.2695 ... I am guessing this is newer than the 380_1354 you built 380.58 on right? Question, you base the firmware off the standard GPL release, does that include updates like this or do you have to...

    $9 Router Cooling (RT-AC68U Example)

    My 2.4 ghz is sitting at 57C and my 5ghz is at 65 C... I take it I should buy a cheap cooling pad and place the router ontop of it. AC66R btw http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008RN1YZM/?tag=snbforums-20 Probably going to buy one of those and see how it works.

    Random freezing of router RT-AC68U firmware 380.57_0

    So the AC66U has a BCM4331 and a BCM 4360?

    Random freezing of router RT-AC68U firmware 380.57_0

    Makes sense. I keep finding conflicting sources on what 2.4 ghz chip the AC68U uses (one site says BCM4709 while another claims BCM4360 (which doesn't make sense).

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.58 is now available

    Are you seeing any 2.4 ghz lockups on 380.2695? I have been experiencing that on my AC66U using MerlinWRT 380.58 and wondering if it is my router of the firmware.

    Random freezing of router RT-AC68U firmware 380.57_0

    I recently switched 1 omni direction to a Alfa directional and it fixed a lot of my problems with the router being upstairs and the client being downstairs. I use 2 omni directional for my upstairs clients and the directional for downstairs. That being said I think 380 57 and 58 are having...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.58 is now available

    I have actually been having a problem with 2.4 ghz (randomly locks up and have to reboot the modem) since the update. Have done NVRAM/Factory resets and still didnt fix it.

    Intermittent loss of internet

    Right now I am in the network list and it shows the white Rodgers Division (Emerson Sensi) having a 1 Mbps TX and 1 Mbps RX rate. This thermostat is inline with a directional ALFA antenna and in a direct line between the router and an xbox one (inbetween them). The Xbox One has a 6/81 connection...

    I have been seeing performance issues with 380... I may drop back down to 378 if they continue.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.58 is now available

    Been having a problem with 380.58 on my AC66R. Devices on the 2.4 ghz signal lose internet connection randomly and don't reestablish. Problem has been exhibited on an Ipad4, Sensi Wifi Thermostat, Asus ul80vt using an Intel 5100 and a Raspberry Pi 2 using a wifi usb adapter. I recently replaced...
