    News Linksys Adds New Affordable Wi-Fi 6 Max-Stream Router To Its Mesh Portfolio

    It seems like a really odd offering. Like AX is a badge that allows manufacturers to hike the price despite the fact that at this level there is going to be very little perceptible advantage over an established AC setup. You have to assume that customers who are shopping at this end of the...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    Not sure about first question, although I know the DSL version is clocked lower than the RT version I think 800Mhz Vs 1Ghz. As for your fibre connection it should be fine in that setup. I have G.fast and used my 68U in the LAN mode with the WAN connection coming from the Openreach modem. Worked...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.77SF

    I wasn’t going to say anything, but I can’t resist. I’m a bit taken aback by this sort of post / sentiment in how impatient and entitled it is. Perhaps this is not the person’s intention, but it amounts to “you are not providing me with personalised support for your 100% optional and free of...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    A dirty flash is simply flashing the new firmware straight over the existing firmware. By comparison, a clean flash is where you clear everything and reset the router before flashing the new firmware. You still install the firmware the same way. Download GNUton firmware, unzip it. Navigate to...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    UK user here and I had no problems when dirty flashing GNuton firmware onto my DSL-AC68U. It is good practice to have the settings backed up somewhere but when I dirty flashed it, it kept all my DSL settings including access password and username etc.

    Questions from new Voxel firmware user (R7800)

    I don’t claim to know a great deal about router manufacturing and support periods but from what I can tell it is still possible to purchase brand new R7800’s from large and small online retailers. While I was shopping for a good deal on one, I noticed them go out of stock on a well known website...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    If it doesn't work on your ISP right now then at the very least you don't have much to lose by giving this a try. If you mean a ground floor, first floor, second floor arrangement, then I would say you are asking a lot from a WiFi signal to be able to propagate that far and through several...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    It's a way to have RMerlin based firmware AND keep the DSL component of the router functioning. It's ace.

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    I am a very novice and basic user so aside from flashing GNUton’s version of your firmware, I do not have any scripts or other code running. I think due to this I would be unlikely to run into any NVRAM issues myself. It just seemed a bit suspect that you fixed this check and suddenly those...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    To those who noticed a warning about NVRAM. I note that in the Merlin changelog under FIXED the following is included: Webui wouldn't notify when running dangerously low on free nvram (feature was lost at some point in the past) Is it possible that there has been no issue with NVRAM usage...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    Hi, welcome to the forum. Are you sure it is not compatible with your ISP? This is something that is often fixed, or compatibility is refined, with firmware updates to the inbuilt DSL modem. When I first got my AC68U last year and was using VDSL it did not work properly until I updated the...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    By stable firmware I assume you mean the latest non-BETA GNUton release? If so, I have just tried this and don’t appear to have any problems adding a port forwarding rule. I added it, it appeared in the list and remains present after refreshing the browser. There is no save button, the rule...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    Hi Seamus, Your issue is not really relevant to the topic of this thread. I do seem to recall that there is an option in the Asus router config for optimising the connection for IPTV but I've just now looked for it and can't seem to find it. I think it is in the LAN settings somewhere. You may...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    As an FYI, 3.0.0.4.384_81727 was released yesterday by Asus. Unsure if it has any content that would warrant being rolled into your current BETA.

    Which router brand update their firmware the most ?

    Asus do seem to be the most proactive and have shown a willingness to update old products with new features such as AiMesh for routers that are 5+ years old. It seems really variable though. TP-Link don’t seem very good to update their firmware either or if they do they don’t make it easy to...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    I have recently moved from DSL-AC68U to an FB7530 as part of getting Gfast. The 7530 is in router mode. What I will say is that I like AVM (the FritzBox! manufacturer) attitude as they seem like a friendlier organisation that the likes of ASUS. I also REALLY like the FB!'s web interface. It's...
