RT-N66U router with the -37 SDK5 build

[edsyl]

I saw this in the latest release thread, but cannot seem to find it?

Where does one find it?
I really don't understand your stance? The RT-N66U router with the -37 SDK5 build from RMerlin is the best router with regards to polish (gui), range and throughput I have ever used.

I think you're quoting me?

Either way; RMerlin pulled that version because of USB issues.

Look for the .38 version soon.

Any idea on ETA?

Meant to ask, will this be a beta as well?

It was the best ever but got pulled? I really don't understand your stance?

Not my stance - if you read my posts completely it's the best one I've ever used on my RT-N66U.

RMerlin's stance was to pull it (along with the .37 old usb version) because it wasn't stable enough for him to leave for public access.

However, since I don't use USB drives with my routers (as I've mentioned before) it is working great for me.

USB disks weren't mounted at all on these routers which I pulled, so hardly best ever LOL

merlin, i stuck a USB thumbdrive into the router, just for fun, and it worked np. router didn't reboot, but things did reload themselves. didn't lose any connectivity in the process that i'm aware of, at least not for longer than the time it took me to walk back to the computer.

merlin, i stuck a USB thumbdrive into the router, just for fun, and it worked np. router didn't reboot, but things did reload themselves. didn't lose any connectivity in the process that i'm aware of, at least not for longer than the time it took me to walk back to the computer.

The oldusb version does take care of the USB disk mounting, however I encountered other stability issues during my tests, so rather than waste time providing support to a version known to already be hack'n'patched together, I preferred to pull them off.
