Given that you're running an unsupported fork, you would be better off asking in a Koolshare forum.

(or look at the Software Center bottom at the bottom of your menu, that doesn't appear in my 87U Merlin)

192.168.1.1 -> USB Application

Is your Firmware ver 380.67 ?

380.67 and 380.67_X2 are two totally different things. X2 indicates it's a firmware developed by the Koolshare community, with their own changes to it. You will have to contact them for support. It might be based on my code, but only they know what changes they've made to their variant.

thank u
Does it mean that Koolshare caused the download master disappear？

You will have to ask them. I don't know anything about their firmware, they are ignoring the GPL licence requirement of providing source code. I have nothing to do with their project.

One wonders how many "enhanced" RMerlin versions exist.
Is there a list of all of them?
I'm asking because I'd like to try them to test if my ad-blocker runs on them as well.

I'm aware of HGG, Xvortex, multiple different Koolshare variants. These provide no source code, so I wouldn't trust them too much (except HGG, because I regularly speak with its developer).

On the open front, there's john9527's, Asuswrt-Phantom (not sure if it's still maintained, search it on Github), Blackfuel (also on Github).

There's no definitive list, you have to look around to find them. They almost never contact me about their projects, so I rarely hear first hand about their existence.

Except for the obvious trustworthy ones the will be installed in a sandboxed environment.
Thanks for the list, -Phantom has only a 87U release and that router exclusively runs stable Merlin here.
