    RT-AX68U Merlin vs. 3.0.0.4.388_24646

    It looks like Asus resurrected the RT-AX68U router by releasing firmware 3.0.0.4.388_24646 ... I'm wondering though how many things in the Asus firmware are currently patched that would not be patched in Merlin 3004.388.6_2 ? I'm running the Merlin one at the moment and just wondering about it...

    Where is Firmware Image v3.0.0.4.388.22525 for RT-AX68U?

    Are there any features that are going to be lost when moving from 3.0.0.4.388.21732 to 388.2_2 ?

    News NETGEAR Announces Two Small-Biz Wi-Fi 6 APs

    Would the WAX206 be a better choice than a more expensive router such as the RAX120 ? I‘m thinking both support wise and the fact that I only need an access point without routing capabilities? I also want good wireless coverage, that would equal or beat my current ASUS Blue Cave which is...

    Issues with latest Blue Cave firmware?

    No, I've flashed many Asus beta firmwares, they're all beta in fact :) I flashed it and so far so good, but like I said I'm in AP mode ...

    Issues with latest Blue Cave firmware?

    New firmware was just released, maybe it will fix the WAN reconnect bug! 9.0.0.4.386.41994 I don't know myself since I run mine in AP mode so it's working fine anyways :)

    Asus RT-AC68 offered 3.0.0.4.384_45708

    I applied it on my Blue Cave as it showed up when I checked for new f/w last night after 9:30 pm, and it's working good so far - mind you my router is in access point mode only ...

    Best Router for WiFi Gaming

    Ok, very similar devices then ... i was going to put pfsense on mine if the UTM did not work out but so far so good. I believe your appliance is using the C2358 rated 961 passmark, and mine has the E3827 rated 849 on passmark, other specs look similar 4 ports, etc. I was lucky to get mine used...

    Best Router for WiFi Gaming

    Pretty good, what router is that ? Of course I had to turn off web filtering temporarily on my UTM to complete the bufferbloat test as it does not support byte range requests, I'm guessing because it's filtering web traffic through a transparent proxy.

    Best Router for WiFi Gaming

    At least I don't have to worry about bufferbloat with my SG115 running UTM 9.6 :)

    Synology RT1900ac vs Asus Ac86u

    Yeah, the RT2600AC was a great product as far as features that I needed go, but most importantly the "unstable 2.4 ghz" killed it for me. I've now been using my Blue Cave upstairs in AP mode and it's working amazingly, and my main router is the Sophos XG115. That one is working great as well...

    Asus Blue Cave Vs Netgear R6700?

    Blue Cave but I will be using it in bridge mode upstairs just for WiFi, and as my main router I bought a used wired for downstairs, Sophos XG115.

    Router for Captive Portal AND VPN

    Ouch, not cheap :) Also you could look for a used Sophos SG or XG unit and install a home license on it for free .. Many say the interface is much nicer than PfSense but personally I didn't try to load PfSense on my XG115 as the installer was crashing, however I'm running mine with Sophos UTM...

    Synology RT1900ac vs Asus Ac86u

    My RT2600AC was quite a bit worse for WiFi coverage than my RT-AC1900P, which should again be worse than the RT-AC86U. Unfortunately I've never tried the RT-AC86U but went with a Blue Cave which is better for coverage than my RT-AC1900P and completely obliterated my RT2600AC (which I've already...

    Asus Blue Cave Vs Netgear R6700?

    Blue Cave beats the hell out of my RT-1900P (RT-AC68U) for wireless stability and reach just so you know ... it also looks sexy, lol.

    Best $200+ dollar router?

    Just an update, I got my XG115,... it had an expired license (of course) but was originally purchased in September 2017 for about 750 USD as the invoice was included, so for $130 USD I think not bad? :) Anyways, I was playing around with it, you can load XG or UTM software on it, both Hardware...
