Beta [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 53D1

[heywire]

Really? Oh man, I hadn't read anything about that, so I didn't know anything either.
I have an older unsupported (EoL) RT-AC66U Router.
Should this (even after the security vulnerabilities of Asus firmwares that have now become known) really only be electronic waste?

"FreshTomato" firmware is still updated for this router. Read my comment here

Wow, my router is still supported! Great! Thank you for your tip! I'll take care of it.

Does this merlin frimware enable TLS DNS in WAN for N66U mips routers?

 

[Mittenz]

Anyone?

It supports DNS over TLS on my N66U.

Is this a mips n66u?
And is this only with the merlin fork that enables it -- you didn't have this available with stock firmware.

If so that is HUGE gives alot of life to the N66U

Yes, it's a mips router. Can't help you about other forks. This is the only one I've used.

Impressive! Running the latest beta (2022-08) on a r6700 that had it's board id modded to r7000 and cfe flashed from the xwrt thread.

Using device as media extender. Connecting to a tplink eap670 AP which has ssid security set to wpa2 & wpa3 mixed mode. Xwrt on same device was having slow speed issues unless ssid was set to wpa2 only. A thread on the linksys.org forum suggested it may be related to wpa2/3 in the newer fw's (even though none of them support wpa3). Getting upward of 700 mbps on download, 600 mbps on upload (fiber gig connection).

See pages 2 & 3 for wpa discussion.
