I'm new to the forum and Asus-Merlin but have a fair amount of experience with DD-WRT and Tomato. I recently purchased the RT-AC66W, did some homework, and loaded up Merlin (380.58) to check it out. All laptops, TVs, and tablets worked perfectly except my LinuxMint 17.3 (Ubuntu) laptop with an internal Intel Centrino 1000 wireless-n card. The Bit Rate quickly (within minutes) dropped from 150Mb to 1Mb and all web browsing effectively stopped, some reporting "no internet connection" though it was still connected.
My searches all seemed to conclude with disabling N in favor of G, not a real solution. After upgrading to 380.59 and the latest stock Asus firmware with no change I moved on to Tomato by Shibby (version 1.28, release 132) and the problem disappeared.
I actually prefer the Merlin interface to Tomato and would love to go back but I need my Linuxmint laptop to have connectivity. Is there any information that I can provide that would facilitate investigating this issue?
As a newcomer, please forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong area.
Thanks in advance!
