    AiProtection Alternative?

    Can anyone suggest an opensource/free AiProtection alternative? I would like to have something that provides a more verbose log and more configurable that the TrendMicro built in to the ASUS/Merlin code. Thanks!

    384.4.2 87U Memory?

    I didn't pay much attention prior to update but after update my memory remains at 50%. It is running about 128 mb. Does this seem correct? I thought I remember it around 80 prior and after reboots???

    RT-AC87U / Merlin 380.61 - Slow WAN Speeds?

    My Xfinity service was just updated to 200 mbps from 150 mbps. In the past when running speed tests, I was getting 120 DL / 10 UP. I expected that with a 150 mbps service. Now that my service was expanded and a new modem is in place, the speed tests do not increase. Once I disconnect the RT-87U...
