    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS Overview

    FreshTomato is great but does not support CTF on RT-AC66U and other MIPS RT-AC routers :-( https://wiki.freshtomato.org/doku.php/advanced-misc?s[]=%2Ahardware%2A&s[]=%2Aacceleration%2A

    RT-AC56U - alternative firmware?

    I use both FreshTomato and John's fork: FT on my old Linksys E2000 (backup-backup router) and John's fork on my AC66U (backup router). Both work fine for the models I installed them on and I actually had issues with FT on my AC66U because the WAN MAC address appears/is the same as the LAN MAC...

    Firmware update - How to keep everything in order?

    For many years, my process is to perform steps 1 and 2 only. Since my Asus is now my backup router and I update it only a few times a year, I may miss some intermediate updates, so what I always do is: 1. Update to current release + 1 2. If something changed in the GUI (as mentioned by RMerlin)...

    router recommendations

    RMerlin is one of the main reason to get an Asus router: it is a fork of the original Asus firmware with a lot of extra features and fixes. Look at the RMerlin sub-forum for more details Sent using Tapatalk

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

    I somewhat confirm this but actually saw a different WAN MAC address when I tried Fresh Tomato (FT). * With AsusWRT variants, the WAN MAC address seems to be the same as the LAN MAC. In my case, this address ends with 8. * When I installed FT, the WAN MAC reported by its GUI was the exact same...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    Agree completely For those who like to watch their bandwidth in real time, someone should come up with a mod that uses the router leds as a traffic vu-meter ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Firmware for RT-AC66U

    I spent yesterday evening on the change and it did not really go as I planned. It seems that while I was making my changes, there was a problem with my ISP and all tests and validations I performed were useless. Here's what I ended up doing: - Prepared everything: downloaded all possible FW...

    Firmware for RT-AC66U

    Thanks for asking Val D. I've been holding off on the USG in the hope of a USG v2 with more recent HW. I was going to get one for Xmas and didn't order it in time. I'll get it for my birthday (in 1 month) and this is why I'm starting to prepare my Asus to become my backup router.

    Firmware for RT-AC66U

    Thank you RMerlin, I don't need anything special other than store my stats on a USB key and have SIP passthru for my IP phone. I don't use QoS or HW acceleration (although I may use HW acceleration in the future if my bandwidth increases).

    Firmware for RT-AC66U

    Hello all, I have an Asus RT-AC66U as my main router and have been running Merlin for ages. I'm stuck on the latest Merlin release for this model (380.70) and although it is rock solid, I'd like to update it to benefit from security updates which came out since then (2 years ago). Since then...

    Do you reboot often your router ?

    I own a RT-AC66U and only reboot after a firmware update or if there is a problem with my connection Problems with connection were never due to the router and since there's no Merlin FW update for my router for nearly 2 years, it's been running forever without a reboot. RAM usage remains low...

    Asus RT-AC66U with Tomato firmware shuts off when I turn on BWlimiter

    Tomato by Shibby is no longer maintained. Look at Fresh Tomato; it's a Shibby fork and is quite active. Latest release (2019.3) is from last week Repository can be found here Downloads can be found here Updates and forum discussions can be found here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Upgrade from AC-66U?

    I'm also running an AC66U and since it is rock solid and enough for my current fiber (100/100) subscription, I'm keeping it until my "dream" replacement comes out. I would recommend you wait for the adequate model to come out and upgrade then. If you have more than 4 LAN ports and already have...

    Your suggestions needed for router upgrade

    In a router-only scenario, I'd go with a Unify Security Gateway. I'm in a similar situation (RT-AC66U) and am about to upgrade it to a USG. I just need a long enough maintenance window to coordinate (DHCP) WAN MAC address change with my provider

    How often do you guys reboot?

    I usually reboot when updating to a new Merlin version. Since I have an AC66U with no more updates, I haven't rebooted for a few months
