RT-AC68U f/w: Merlin's or John's Fork???

[LHF]

Since Merlin jumped in....I'll throw in my 2 cents

I still use an AC68P (previous AC68R) and still use my fork. I've spent a lot of time tuning things up over it's 2+ years lifetime, and for me it rock stable. With all due respect for Merlin's great work, every time I try Merlin's latest, I run across things that I've changed or implemented new on my fork that I miss and I haven't had the energy to start all over. While there are a lot of new features since my fork, for me personally, those are nice but of limited value (I don't care about fancy icons, pretty status displays, analyzing my traffic, or the other new DPI features.). Also, for me, I see a slightly better wireless performance (although not significant enough to be a deciding factor and others can see different results).

Best advice....try them both and decide which better meets your needs.

Hi John!

I'm runing 3.0.0.4.374.43_2-22E4 on my N66U. Rock solid!! I'm buying AC68U, hardware B1, and I want to know wich is the best fw version for me to install. I use Airplay a lot to stream audio to a Marantz receiver. And to upgrade it, I have to use the recovery mode?

Thanks and congratulations for your great work!!
