I've been running John's LTS for years on two AC68 I have to cover my home's 3 levels (3800sqft)
... since the power tweak option had been removed from the newer ASUS & Merlin builds.
Wondering if you guys see any benefit for me to move to the std Merlin builds?
thanks for the input!
2 AC68's in service with ethernet back-haul
- considering putting in a 3rd in for wider coverage footprint to try to cover yards
-- adding another AC68 would also allow splitting cameras between 3 routers (not sure if this matters)
My Usage...
multiple networks on each router, both bands (separate for wifi camera, guest, and family). Trying to keep the 1080p cameras streams somewhat separate and more secure
Different SSID names in hopes roaming across has a better chance for phones/tablets to 'choose' the best SSID .. but this really doesn't work well
many Port Forwarding rules
small JFFS script, nothing fancy
No VPN or QoS, etc
10x Wifi 1080p cameras streaming 24x7 -- dedicated SSID on each router, cameras split between routers.
5 Wifi 'people' devices (laptop, tablets, phones) - never all in use at the same time
1080p video streaming from NAS occurs via ethernet, not wifi.
HP enterprise switch connecting...
Syno NAS (music, videos, etc and late nite backups of 2 PCs - nothing major)
2x FireTV - usually only 1 in use at any given time
3x PCs - typically 1 or 2 in use at any given time, but usually surfing
