    Release [FORK][DSL] GNUton's Merlin builds for DSL Router 386.1_2 released.

    Not sure about Apple or the XT8 specifically, but I have this firmware on my ET8s, and the Android app still works to access them with all available functions.

    Release [FORK][DSL] GNUton's Merlin builds for DSL Router 386.1_2 released.

    Just installed a new ZenWiFi ET8 pair, with updated 388.2.2.0 fw. So far I'm very impressed. Replaced a Google Nest WiFi Pro system that was working my last nerve. I have the ET8 pair connected via wireless using the 6GHz band (dedicated) and it is very stable. Keeping my fingers crossed...

    WAN instability on AC87U - Still life in 'er or is it time?

    I'm still running my 87U, using the last Merlin release without any problems. My incoming WAN is Spectrum Cable 100/10 service (using Spectrum's modem). I get very stable and fast WiFi on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Pretty great coverage for the entire house and most of the back yard, too. I'm...

    Asus AC87U Advanced Wireless WebUI bug

    It must be something with your browser? Mine works as it should, no errors in display.

    Anyone even gets anything counted on AiProtection?

    Neat, I get the blocked message on my 87U, and it isn't counted in the stats here, either.

    Anyone even gets anything counted on AiProtection?

    On my RT-AC87U it is definitely working and shows it is working when I look at the stats. Lots of "hits" on Malicious Sites and Two Way IPS.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.18 and 384.13_10 is now available

    I'm likely going to do the same. My 87U was a replacement from Asus for a RT-AC68W that went bad under warranty. That was 3 years ago, and this 87U has been rock solid running Asus-Merlin FW.

    Remain with RT-AC87U or upgrade?

    No, the only cable outlet is in that location at the end of the house. While a cat6 could be run to the center of the house, I'd have to hire someone to go into the attic (and swim through 3 feet of blown in insulation) to do so, which is just a bit more than I want to do. Much easier to use a...

    Remain with RT-AC87U or upgrade?

    I fully agree with the "if it ain't broke" philosophy. I'm simply thinking of the future. You make a good point about waiting for the 6E implementations. Also, the AC87U doesn't support mesh, so that's not an option. I think of mesh for the reason that I currently have to use an extender...

    Remain with RT-AC87U or upgrade?

    I've been running this 87U for quite a while, it has worked reliably and well using Merlin's FW. I currently use it along with a Netgear EX7300 extender and have very stable service. But, I know the 87U has limited days left as far as firmware updates, etc. Should I choose to upgrade, I'm...
