    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Are you doing the procedure correctly? Probably best to do a normal Reset of the router settings first allowing it to boot up before you start the flashing procedure. To get into recovery mode on an N66U: > You want to disconnect/turn off the power i.e. switch on top > Hold down the Reset...

    [RT-N66U] Upgrade to John's 374.43 or stick with Merlin's 270.26b?

    I was a bit curious about this myself recently. Currently have John's 3.0.0.4.374.43_2-25E7j9527 installed. It's virtually impossible to kill these ASUS routers at least compared to old ones such as a Linksys WRT54g. There's really no reason to not at least try Merlin - flash it right from the...

    ASUS bargain hunting

    Completely backwards over here in the UK in most areas =\ Even the very best cable package would be 200Mbps. It's funny really - your getting internet packages which exceed even the best routers; whilst I'm clearly in the opposite camp =D If I only I could retroactively re-wire the place...

Particularly the 2.4GHz performance. Using John's fork seems to highly recommended on the...
