RT-AC68U / RT-AC68P / RT-AC1900 / RT-AC1900P

[hotsauce2007]

two asus ac68u in media bridge, almost 80% of cpu and working as it should.

Just ordered an RT-AC1900P to replace an RT-AC66U (A1) that I'll be giving to my parents. Looking forward to the extra horsepower

Edit: Returned the AC1900p for the AC86u instead.

RT-AC86U added to the tables in the first post due to the visual similarity with the RT-AC68 family.
Specific information of the RT-AC86U can be found here:

I have it enabled on my AC86u. I can't find the thread, but RMerlin mentioned that it's the same software stack that trendmicro sells on their corporate side. He seemed to think highly of it.

This may sound like a stupid question, but wouldn't the newest AC66U B1 version router belong here, since it's a repackaged 68U? Or the TM-1900 version of the 68U being flashed to a 68U with the Merlin FW?

The RT-AC66U-B1 is added.
Suggestions for enhancements in the overview tables are always welcome.

Nice, and what about the AI Protection for Enable Vulnerability protection / Infected device prevention and blocking function:

I never got any email about nothing, I wish asus could sent an email just for test if it´s working...

For the AiProtection emails to work first make sure you don't have 2 factor authentication enabled. I actually set up a separate gmail account with out 2 factor just for AiProtection and have that account forward all emails to my main account. Next thing that I had to do to get the emails working was to enter my email address without the gmail.com part. Once I saved and backed out of the AiProtection page and then came back in the gmail.com shows up. I think they add the gmail.com part for you. After that you should get an email stating that you set it up correctly.

You don't need to disable 2FA. You just create an application password specifically for AIProtection.

Go to the Security section of your gmail account: https://myaccount.google.com/security click on "App Passwords" then just fill in the details (use custom) and it'll spit out a password just for that activity.

Done, thanks...

Looks like the STOCK RT-AC68U has been patched for KRACK in the ASUS download section:

well,

looks like the japan page has a new tab for AIMESH system, I´ve looked into the USA version and wasn´t able to find it or any reference to it

Hi Joe,

I have the exact hardware (B2), firmware version and manufacture year. Purchased mine at BB a few days ago as well.

I did notice on the box the flash memory says 128 MB, DDRIII is 256 MB. The review on SNB says 256 MB of flash. So here comes the newbie question for the pros, why is the flash size different from the review?

Thanks!

I just got brand new RT-AC68U E1 and i was wondering which radio it has.
Log says.

Aug 1 02:00:13 kernel: eth1: Broadcom BCM4360 802.11 Wireless Controller 6.37.14.126 (r561982)
Aug 1 02:00:13 kernel: eth2: Broadcom BCM4360 802.11 Wireless Controller 6.37.14.126 (r561982)

Is this 100% correct or can can also be BCM43602?

Anybody knows if the latest version (RT-AC1900P maybe?) comes in white?
