    new firmware on asus site 374.257

    The two vulnerabilities I think you're referencing are the ones that is related to AiCloud (don't remember the specifics offhand) and the Broadcom ACSD buffer overflow. I don't use AiCloud so it is disabled on my router, rendering that vulnerability moot to me, and as far as I can tell the...

    new firmware on asus site 374.257

    Merlin doesn't touch the wireless portions of the code (he can't for the most part even if he wanted to - the Broadcom drivers are closed source and distributed as prebuilt blobs). In his own builds he simply replaces the broken driver blobs with working ones from previous firmware releases...

    Please explain step by step in Dutch or English how forward ports for torrents.

    Those rules will only accept incoming packets on port 51413, but it won't forward them to his machine running Transmission, which is what he needs. Also, why bother with jffs scripts when the web interface can port forward? dikkiedirk, you can easily port forward using the web interface...

    Jitter, packets loss and slow connection via WiFI

    Are all those latencies being gathered from a ping test between client and router? Even with the DIR-625, 80ms of latency is incredibly high and definitely something I'd be working towards lowering, and there should be nominal (really, zero) packet loss. Just so you can see, here's what you...

    ASUS RT-AC66U 3.0.0.4.354 Official Firmware

    Ah, well colour me silly then. Sorry for the misleading advice.

    ASUS RT-AC66U 3.0.0.4.354 Official Firmware

    The AC66U should use the same driver code for N clients so (in theory) driver issues with the N66U should affect the AC66U as well. I don't think any extra logic for the AC specification would change that.

    ASUS RT-AC66U 3.0.0.4.354 Official Firmware

    RMerlin has identified and reported an issue with the new Broadcom driver and Intel wireless chipsets. It's being investigated so you'll have to wait for the next firmware for a potential fix.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.354.27 Beta 1

    That's probably for the RT-N56U, as far as I know it has a dedicated chip for hardware-accelerated NAT (that's how it gets gigabit WAN <-> LAN performance). I wonder if CTF is simply an implementation of cut-through switching, but for packet routing? Cut-through switching doesn't perform a...

    Analysis of the 354 code

    I feel like I didn't make my point about how CyanogenMod isn't a fair comparison clear, so let me try again: We are lucky, as owners of the RT-*66U series of routers, to have ASUS provide the full and complete source code for each firmware release, with everything needed to compile your own...

    Analysis of the 354 code

    Not to stray from the topic too much but CyanogenMod is made up of dozens of volunteers, some who work on the core part of the distribution, some who are device maintainers responsible for ensuring their devices work as best as they can. They release nightly builds every day and milestone...

    USB-AC53 First impressions and tests (to come)

    Are you sure it's Mbps and not MB/s? If it's Mbps you have a pretty big issue with your network. If you're looking for any sort of fast file transfers over the network, you should be turning to a different machine (such as wired desktop, NAS, even another wireless laptop would be better) - the...

    USB-AC53 utility - Had to switch Windows display to 100% (from medium aka 125%)

    Are you on a Surface Pro? ;)

    ASUS RT-N66U 3.0.0.5.354 Official Firmware

    As I suspected. You might have better luck using the "official" beta release (3.0.0.4.354), or stick to 3.0.0.3.270 if it works for you! On a sidenote, I've noticed my Galaxy Nexus is having issues staying connected to the 2.4GHz network I have set up ever since I upgraded. My girlfriend has...

    Only getting 217 Mbps link rate on 2.4Ghz

    The RT-AC66U is capable of 450Mbps on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

    ASUS RT-N66U 3.0.0.5.354 Official Firmware

    Were you using the *.*.5.354 or *.*.4.354 release? I'm wondering if you had the accidentally released *.*.354 build and ran into a bug with Dual WAN.

    ASUS RT-N66U 3.0.0.5.354 Official Firmware

    BuTTuS' speed problems were Xbox-related - Xbox 360 Slim consoles suffering with performance issues were a known issue supposed to be fixed in this release with the "Optimize for Xbox" checkbox. Your problem is entirely different. Just before ruling out .354, have you tried a factory reset?

    ASUS RT-N66U 3.0.0.5.354 Official Firmware

    I can't reproduce this issue - I'm getting the 8-9MB/s I expect to be getting on wireless transfers. Are you sure you're not using a channel with lots of interference from other AP's or devices on the same spectrum? That's why "Enhanced Interference Management" may be helping you.

    ASUS RT-N66U 3.0.0.5.354 Official Firmware

    There does seem to be an overall improvement in signal strength and throughput at low-strength locations. I haven't done any actual tests to confirm but I've noticed a definite and noticeable improvement.

    2013 Q1 firmware round-up/comparison please

    RMerlin is very good at making sure his releases are ready for public consumption so I would definitely suggest using the newest version available. Keep in mind though that QoS is no different from standard Asuswrt (which isn't really all that good in comparison to what Tomato offers you) - but...

    Asus USB-AC53 Adapter

    USB 2.0 has a theoretical limit of 480Mbps - real world is just over half of that I believe (~280Mbps or so). The radios themselves in the adapter I'm sure can do up to 867Mbps but you won't see that kind of performance due to the obvious limitations of USB 2.0.
