    Upgrade to RT-AC87U

    Hi all, After using a RT-N66U with Merlin's firmware for many years, I need to upgrade to 'AC'. I was considering either the AC68U or AC87U as my next upgrade. The AC87U is currently on offer and there are mixed reviews on it's performance. I have mainly seen two issues constantly pop-out...
