    Anyone try Alpha 384.6

    I and many others are not impressed with Asus for reasons that I will mentioned a little later in this post. I bought Asus routers because of Merlin's firmware and every motherboard I have ever bought has been from Asus. No more. I have an Asus tablet (Zenpad 3S 10 Z500M) that I bought a few...

    Thank you very much Merlin.

    RT-AC86U, Merlin 382.1_2 firmware, possible bug

    Hi, I do not know if this is a bug or by design. I cannot tick the "b/g Protection" box when "N only" is selected as the wireless mode on 2.4GHz. Thanks DrTeeth

    New RT-AC86U

    Hi Gingernut, Yes, that is what I meant. I am an ex-N66U user using Merlin's firmware, John's fork, and realise how it should work. Cheers DrT

    New RT-AC86U

    I have just connected my new RT-AC86U and have a couple of questions. My N66U was beginning to get a little flakey in the wi-fi dept so it was time for a new one. The router came with the Asus 382 firmware. I set up my ISP connection and then flashed the router with Merlin's 382. I then...

    Asuswrt-Merlin - Project update

    Hi Merlin, Thanks for your update. Whilst I am using John's firmware for my N66U, I will probably buy a new Asus router when your new firmwares become available. Which model I get will completely depend on what you make available. Cheers DrTeeth

    Update to the FCC and firmware blocking saga

    There is NO EU region in any radio regulations. There are differences to all radio regs in each country. Look at the 60m ham band as an example.

    Update to the FCC and firmware blocking saga

    Hi, I have just joined the ARRL, the American national society for radio hams. A page could my eye about this saga so I thought I would scan it and post it. I could not scan the PDF here, so I have uploaded it to MediaFire here https://www.mediafire.com/?ugddzpwlyn3o2m3. 73

    UK New 5ghz Channels

    My N66U came with a non-existent EU locale, allowing only 3 out of many more legal %GHz channels. Asus chose thios route as it is easier for them. We all want to operate out routers to the maximum legally in our countries and Asus is not helping by crippling them to make their lives easier. If I...

    ASUS firmware will change the verification method

    All of the fuss over this could have been avoided of Asus would lock the firmware to the corrent localisation for the country in which it is sold rather than a blanket EU market, which does not exist. I just want to operate my modem at its maximum capable legal capabilities.

    [Test builds] 380.58 alpha builds are now available

    Yep, no missing that post alright.

    Country restriction avoidance router VPN advice

    That is an outrageous allegation. The OP could just as easily be wishing to operate his router legally in his domain. Changing the locale is not illegal. Why people always assume that such questions are asked for nefarious purposes I do not know.

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    First, thanks for making my points better than I could. Second, I had nobody in mind at all when I mentioned "questionable provenance", maybe "unverifiable provenance" would have been better. I was just suggesting that Jim could get all the info he needed from inside Asus itself. Have a good...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Hi Jim and welcome. With all due respect, your question should be directed to the people within Asus who have the answers and possibly took the decisions rather than from people on a forum whose provenance cannot be established. Then, you could do us all a favour and let is know which of the...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Being part of the EU is a very good reason to be hacked off :confused::mad:o_O
