Thanks for a quick answer
I think it depends on the hardware revision as to how fast the flash memory chips they used were. The old N66U's in particular were very slow.Not 40 minutes to one hour??
Our experience has been that both are reliable and secure. Make the choice one which one offers features of interest to you.True, but I was also curious about Merlin in general. Still curious about the LTS fork.
Thanks, but you are missing the point of my OP.Our experience has been that both are reliable and secure. Make the choice one which one offers features of interest to you.
I cannot imagine that it would not be. I have not tried it on mine because it is my understanding that an extra step is required to prepare my newest router since it arrived with the 3.0.0.4.384 firmware installed.Thanks, but you are missing the point of my OP.
The read me says this is supported: AC68U (Rev A1,A2,B1)
Im trying to find out if the B2 rev is also supported.
Really?Linksys EA6900 with Xwrt Vortex ( Merlin )
Never mind i do understand.. Changed loll
There's no built-in RADIUS server but you can point the router to IP address of a server somewhere on your LAN.I have a question, do the lts builds support internal radius on the router or is that hardware and router model dependant?
Personally, I would discount Merlin's 380.70 release as an option as it's fairly old now and has fallen behind with security and bug fixes. Mind you, Asus' isn't much better in that respect. Whether you use Asus' or John's is a matter of personal preference IMHO.Hello,
Is it advisable to use John’s LTS firmware vs the latest Asus 3.0.0.4.382.50702 (released July 2018) or the final Merlin 380.70 on an RT-N66U?
It does not mean that the cops will be going after you, but Merlin and John have dropped support for that.Never mind i do understand.. Changed loll
Lol.. i do understand.. but i changed it... as the setup is at this moment..It does not mean that the cops will be going after you, but Merlin and John have dropped support for that.
Please see OP for the Installation Notes.I'm currently on Merlin's 380.68_4 firmware and seeing that it has been EOL for quite some time I'm looking to migrate to this LTS release. Being that it is forked from an older Merlin release though is there anything I should do in advance of "updating" to this firmware build?
Please see OP for the Installation Notes.
YESOk I'm blind. I'm going to follow it up with another stupid question.
I have an original AC66U so should I use RT-AC66U_374.43_37E4j9527.trx for that unit?
