I have two RT-N16 routers, both with Merlin released firmware from when that model was supported by him. More specifically, with versions 378.50 and 376.48_3 . Are you aware of any issues (like being bricked) if I try to move off of those versions and install 374.43/V15E3?
Originally, I was looking into keeping up with Merlin's releases and doing my own builds or using Andray's RT-N fork. Andray seems to have moved on with life related stuff, and doesn't seem to be maintaining his fork anymore and even his Github account has not had any activity for months. Keeping up with Merlin's latest releases are also no longer feasible since the latest version of AsusWRT requires
closed-source binaries that have not been released for RT-N16 and most likely won't be released since Asus may no longer release any firmware updates for that model, hence won't be required to publish the updated open-source code with its dependencies. So with that said, the only robust option to keep RT-N16 with latest security patches seems to be moving to John's fork.
So, are there known issues if I try to downgrade 378.50 and 376.48_3 to 374.43/V15E3?
Thanks
