9 pages? I was going to edit to say but thought it was pretty obvious... if someone wants to use an antiquated stock feature they can still use stock firmware. I appreacite @RMerlin taking time to gather user feeback! If they decide it's more trouble than it's worth to maintain an unused/unknown...

Had to login to my router to remind myself what AiCloud even does! I feel it's a small minority that uses AiCloud, and if they know how to install and use Asuswrt-Merlin, I hope they'd know how to setup your better listed alternatives. I personally would rather it all be removed for less running...

386.9 running great for 2.5 days on RT-AC86U! :) Previously had like 121 days up time on 386.7_2.

Thanks @RMerlin! I was honestly worried you weren't going to receive any new releases from Asus for the AC models. Though all that seems necessary now for AC models is mostly bug and major exploit fixes, if any arise. @RMerlin, have Asus sent you a BE router yet? RT-BE96U and GT-BE98 were...

Thanks @dave14305, for all your time and hard work you put in to developing and maintaining FlexQoS! I know you're not leaving, but I've always looked forward to your posts, as you've always seemed courteous and open to other people's ideas and new experiments etc. Hope you've been enjoying...

I love CakeQoS, and it's already built in to Merlin as a QoS option! Cake maxes out around 350 on Asus routers, but even with more bandwidth available I'd still personally use CakeQoS. I'd just set is at 350-380 then configure the other settings (try cable preset for you, run some bloat tests to...

Besides interface speed I'm not aware of any other reasons. I mostly only use NVME SSD as main system/OS drives where you'll hopefully actually make use of and feel more speed (compared to SATA).

This tiny awesome mSATA SSD I'd consider using! 16GB MLC, DRAM Cache, etc. (TS16GMSA370) https://www.transcend-info.com/Embedded/Products/No-1059

Prefer how small these are plugged in to my router, uses MLC *shrugs*

Glad to hear it's less of a pain than expected! :D Thanks for the update on some of the hard work you do for each new build.

Will you ever stop questioning people using Skynet? Every time someone mentions using it you feel the need to explain to them how the default firewall works... :rolleyes:

I'm trying one of these, uses MLC memory so hopefully will be pretty reliable.

Smooth update from beta2 to 386.7 on AC86U. Thanks @RMerlin! Could just be me: Beta1 to Beta2 eventually (maybe coincidentally) screwed up my JFFS (Skynet specifically wouldn't start), but I started fresh and re-did all my scripts and settings and all's good now. First time my endurance microSD...

Updated AC86U to 386.7_beta1 from 386.5_2, and all's well. Thanks @RMerlin!

I haven't been around long, but the main reason I bought the AC86U was the potential of eventually flashing some different firmware. Now I can't imagine using a router without Asuswrt-Merlin, and built-in CakeQoS and add-on ad-blocking to name a few features. Thanks for helping so many people...
