Dude pfSense is a better choice overall, but 99.9% of the times Merlin's firmware is just fine for most users. Unless you have extreme broadband speeds or need OpenVPN at more than 50mbps just stick with Asus, way easier, reliable, and Merlin's/hggomes/any other fork make it even better and more...

Please tell me you are being sarcastic.

Merlin is your firmware keeping overclock values after a reboot? Many thanks for all your work.

Easiest way is to enter the recovery mode in the Asus and flash the Tomato firmware from the app or the recovery webpage. After that, wait a couple of minutes, turn the router off, press WPS and turn the router on keeping WPS pressed, release it after about 30sec (the power led will start...

Guys AndreDVJ has built a modified 136 build specifically for 56U and 68U users, with some more commits and updates (including new bcm eth drivers). I've been testing it the last few days and all I can say is that it's exceptional, incredibly stable (with voip too) and gained between 5-10% more...

Living in the Middle East?? If you're planning to use OpenVPN I suggest Tomato, way more stable. 35-40C won't be a big problem, router will most likely hit 85/90C. It's fine, but a small usb fan connected to it will lower the temperature by about 10C making it more stable. (56U here...

Uninstall the card from your system, remove the drivers as well. Reboot the computer, install the latest drivers (18.40.0.3) and do not touch any settings from device manager. It works flawlessy at full speed.

AC56U. Should look for a country list, wonder which one is better for wifi.

What is this??? It happens after a factory reset (using asus restoration tool) whenever I go on the 2,4ghz wireless settings.

Yes, client here not server. Why don't you try dslreport's speedtest? They use Amazon AWS servers, in my case they work way better than speedtest dot net.

Not for everybody. With or without markings doesn't make a difference here, CTF enabled. 24mbps connection, server 3500 miles away (to avoid censorship), I get steady 20/21mbps. P.S.: forgot to mention the AC56U is overclocked: 1000,800.

It's only the LEDs in a particular situation. Moving to 380.58 a factory reset is almost necessary. After that everything is fine.

@MoBlues use UDP protocol not TCP. Way faster.

Only two issues with AC56U: 1. LEDs are not working, only the power led is on. 2. Overclocking via nvram command still doesn't work. hggomes has managed to fix it, with his fork nvram commands stay after a reboot @RMerlin I've seen Asus is using build .1574 in their AC5300 emulator, have they...

Will switch to a Netgate rackmount appliance soon. Asus is playing foolish now, charging 300$ for new routers with crappy cpus and made of plastic, considering you can buy a T100Chi with that money. They're using outdated version of the linux kernel, same GUI since 2011 (I think), and thanks to...
