    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.3 is now available

    Merlin, I've been running your CFW since 2013 on the AC56U...my last firmware was one of the original forks, I believe the last update or so before ASUS decided to limit Tx transmission output. lately i've been having to reboot daily (it's in repeater mode). I have tried updating to this...

    Intel N 7260 to 8260, can I use existing Antennas?

    3 year old laptop has the single-band 7260 I'm looking to move an AC 8260 card into said laptop. Will the existing antennas from 7260 work with the 8260 and still achieve 5GHz N/AC speeds?

    Asustor 1 Series: Sub-$200 NAS

    ok good to know. even if the drives dont' spin down i'm constantly hearing it clicking/scratching as if it's actively reading/writing when i'm not even streaming/downloading/running tests. I look at the processes and it's just the process 'top' is active, everything else is sleeping. Any ideas...

    Asustor 1 Series: Sub-$200 NAS

    The experience that you speak from, is that pertaining to SMR drives or just a general statement on HDDs?

    Asustor 1 Series: Sub-$200 NAS

    Got my hands on the AS1002T budget NAS a week ago...ASUS' sub $200 offering I pretty much pulled the trigger blind. Pre-ordered it last month when it was announced with absolutely no customer reviews or reviews from the usual suspects. quick specs: Marvell ARM M7 Dual-core 1GHz 512MB DDR3 gigE...

    New Router? Add Powerline? Add Extender?

    laying wire to a detached garage is out of the question so none of the gigabit powerline adapters have dual band wireless aside from the one Tim posted? I think I will wait until they're available in Canada....$150 usd = $200 CAD is a bit more than I'm willing to pay right now

    New Router? Add Powerline? Add Extender?

    I'd like to stick with asus router due to the overwhelming community support. No point practically sidegrading to the AC68U...I only gain 3x3 radios which I doubt will make a difference. Yep the garage is powered by the same transformer. i'm confused at that BB exclusive powerline adapter. If...

    New Router? Add Powerline? Add Extender?

    Currently using AC56U, really happy with it. However the range doesn't reach the detached garage 60-80ft away. Clients used in the garage are your typical mobile devices like a iPhone 6+. We have an old DIR-655 but it can only serve as a AP not a repeater or extender. We have tried cranking the...

    How to Confirm Connection 5GHz Reception is AC or N?

    I guess some times it's easier just to try things before asking! It was really straight forward. I put my AC56U (on old Merlin fork) into repeater mode, and when selecting parent AP it would say the control channel and the type of protocol like abg, ac After setup the Linkrate is 59-117Mbps...

    How to Confirm Connection 5GHz Reception is AC or N?

    I'm on Win 8.1 Pro x64 with a Intel NIC 82579V, how do i go about checking this? using show lan drivers in command would only tell me if it's 5ghz or 2.4ghz but not whether the 5ghz is ac protocol or N?

    it does say it can transcode H.264 (AVC), MPEG-4 Part 2, MPEG-2, VC-1 how well or at what resolution is up in the air!

    How to Confirm Connection 5GHz Reception is AC or N?

    Hi this might seem like a stupid question to many this is the first time I don't have access to the hardwired router and modem. I know the router is a AC1200 EA6350. If I have a wifi bridge/another router that also supports AC, is it automatically run on AC when connected to the 5GHz band? Is...
