    Asus PCE-AC68 802.11ac Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 PCI-E Adapter

    OMG I love you! I have an RT-AC68 router that I have had for a few weeks that I paired with this adapter (arrived today) for my gaming son. I could not figure out why that stupid thing could not see any 5ghz signals. After several attempts at googling the problem I found this thread. I don't...

    Mac Filtering on Guest Nework

    I'm running the latest stock firmware on my new AC68U; I was using Merlin's firmware on my N66U but it was time to upgrade to a better router. I have been forced to created a MAC whitelist to keep my kids from using a MAC spoofer to get around the parental controls. Last night I created a...

    Stop kids wifi access + Steam gaming with Network Services Filter

    I just resorted to using parental controls again. They failed spectacularly when I first got the router but now I'm using the Merlin build so I was pretty sure it would work. After having dealt with a child that used a mac spoofer in the past I was forced to use the mac filtering (entering 28+...

    The rmerlin donation thread.

    I've been using Merlin's builds on and off for a while. The last one I installed has been running like a champ. I was about to trade up from my N66 to an AC68 but it looks like I can put that off for a while longer. Happy Holidays, Merlin! Keep up the good work.

    Most stable version of Merlin.

    I recently flashed the latest Merlin build but I am not at all happy with the range and speed. I already downloaded the 374.43_2-02j9527 version but haven't yet flashed it when I saw this post. Looks like I'll be flashing that first thing in the morning.

    Media Server and Chromecast

    I use Plex to stream my media to my Rokus and now my Chromecast. It is free and so very easy to use. I love that it grabs synopses and theme music (I found that annoying and turned it off) for the shows I have. The Media Server is free to use. You do not have to subscribe to the PlexPass...

    RT-N66U firmware 3.0.0.4.374.720 released

    I gave the latest 3xx a try and hated it. Our ISP just instituted data caps forcing me into the next higher level of service. Ended up getting 100/10 and with that firmware I could never get anywhere close to the speeds I was supposed to be getting on either band. I flashed back to .276 and I...

    Router Reset

    For some reason my reset button doesn't work. I can only do a reset from the menu. It seems to work. I do it after every firmware flash. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

    RT-N66U firmware 3.0.0.4.374.720 released

    It doesn't pay to try to backup your settings. I have found a complete reset is the only way to get peak performance after a firmware upgrade. It looks like switching the 2.4 to the 20MHz only setting is helping. More testing is needed but it looks promising. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

    RT-N66U firmware 3.0.0.4.374.720 released

    Ok, I switched it to the 20MHz only setting. On tablet but it still got much faster speed than I had been getting. I will test laptop when I stop being too lazy to walk downstairs ;-) This looks promising. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

    RT-N66U firmware 3.0.0.4.374.720 released

    I flashed this yesterday but forgot to do a reset. I've noticed that I have to reset after every flash or things get wonky. First thing I noticed was that signal strength went down. Second thing I noticed was lower speed test scores on the 2.4ghz. 2.4: 5: This is really...

    RT-N66U Sudden Drop in Signal Strength

    I was just recently starting to have issues with signal dropping really low on (mostly 2.4ghz band) and reconnecting of some of my Android devices (5ghz band). Yesterday I flashed the lasted 3xx (flashed over the latest 2xx) firmware and it is much better. So far no drop offs and now lost...

    Asus .370 F/W released today

    My 2.4 band was creeping to a crawl late in the day and I figured out it was the router and no my ISP. I had the same issue with the version before .354. I flashed back to .354, had to reset to default setting and reconfigure before the 2.4 band would consistently give full speed. Such...

    Yep, this is basically true, unfortunately.

    Client List Help please?

    I too have had issues with the Parental Controls and the Client List. It is really hard to set up parental controls when the machine you want isn't listed on the client list. If I have a port forwarded my client list will not populate. Remove the forwarded port, client list works just fine...

    Client list won't update if I have a port forwarded

    I fully rebooted (pulled the power plug) the router several times while having the port forwarded and the client list would not populate with all the devices. I removed the port forwarding and the client list would populate. I've had issues with the client list not populating from the...

    Client list won't update if I have a port forwarded

    Anybody else notice this? I finally figured it out - this was driving me bat shirt crazy. I rarely forward a port but when I do my client list refuses to update. I only get a few of the devices to show up no matter how many times I reboot the router. As soon as I remove the forwarded...

    FW 3.0.0.4.270 and new utilities

    I was using the .321 as well but flashed the .270 because it was official. I've been pleased with it. The 2.4 used to bog down with the previous official release but that has been fixed. So far so good with this version. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

    3.0.0.4.321 Beta Firmware for RT-N66U

    I flashed this yesterday and all is going well. We have three Galaxy Nexus phones and none has the issue you mention. Make sure you have the wifi always on under the wifi settings/advanced/keep wifi on during sleep. So far I like this better than the official release. My 2.4 doesn't bog down...

    Parental Controls don't work

    I just figured out that my kids can still game and Skype even after they are supposed to be cut off from the internet. As long as they started the game client and Skype call before the cutoff time they were golden. Sigh. Silly me never bothered to check on them until this school break -...
