I'm a bit confused and hoping for some clarity. I was running Asus Merlin's firmware for several years on my Asus RT-AC3200 router. It was a great alternative. In seeing the deprecation message, I decided to try an alternative firmware that is still receiving support in the form of Fresh Tomato...
:( Really? Sure, this router is getting a bit long in the tooth, but still completely capable. Now what options do we have to ensure we're getting updates (particularly from a security perspective) ?? Go back to the stock firmware from Asus?
