I will start off with , I m not an expert I m just a regular home user happened to be in charge of this dumb router (68P).
If you want a expert opinion please check on Tim's review of both routers. I m just sharing what's happening with me.
Test Mode :
Same Router Location
Same Antenna Position
Same WiFi Settings
Same dBm
Same ISP
Same PC Location
Same Time
Same Neighbors SSID's
Just 1 Client
=
Different Results
------------
68U :
nvram get bl_version
1.0.1.8
John's FW
68P :
nvram get bl_version
1.0.2.5
Merlin's FW
------------
1 - some might say , its the driver and i will say i tried John's FW on 68P and ended up with the same results.
2 - some might say , 68P has higher clock rate and i will say i overclocked 68U to the same 1000,800.
3 - some might say , Don't trust Windows link speeds and i will say all my wired and wireless clients complained the following with 68P. (occupational internet&wifi drop out + USB share is slow over wifi even if you are setting next to the router)
BTW Yes I did a factory reset
----------
Does the bootloader got anything to do with this ?
68P owners please share your experience
