+1 Eric, thank you for your work. Again. :)

Hello everyone! I knew that with word "Merlin" sometimes miracles happening :)))) I am a big fan of Eric's FW for a lot of years. Owning AC68U, AC86U and two weeks ago bought AX86U. All 3 were running 386.3_2 FW, after arriving of new AX86U new AiMesh was created and for 2 weeks were working...

Merry Christmas Eric! :) Donate sent for small gifts. :)

Yesterday had updated my AC68U A1 to 380.58 from 380.56_2. Just simple flashing on top of previous version, no factory resets, nothing. Working perfectly so far. (router is used for routing ONLY, no USB devices. Before upgrading firmware all cables were unplugged from device.) Thank you Merlin!

That's an Internet power! :) Now each person with laptop and Google in 10 minutes becomes a qualified surgery specialist-doctor with clear understanding that right hand should be cutted off...DONE! oh no.. Left hand! DONE!.... Oh NO! Left foot! DONE! :)))

Not correct comparison with a car. If we are talking about routers (cars) - my old Asus RT N56U with FW from Padavan was never increasing RAM usage running 24x7. And if we are talking about Linux based systems - my Qnap TS-251 has also Linux based operation system, and it is not increasing...

Then congratulations! You have CPU same as on AC87U and AC68P (BCM4709) ! That's why you had 1 GHz as standard.

So did anyone with new 1GHz AC68U tried to check boardtype as ASAT recommended? Did anyone got 0x0665? Or same 0x0646?

Sent small donation from my side also. Keep doing same good work Erik! Thanks!

ASAT, and how this will help to find out why AC68U is 1Ghz in stock? Figures of boardtype means what?

New revision of 68U got BCM4709? Or they are overclocking 4708 to 1Ghz?

Maybe my question is strange, but still will ask mr.Merlin: How complicated is to incorporate overclocking script to Merlin firmware in Administration menu, like drop-down menu with 1-2 possible (and limited) values? Something like "Overclocking - Yes. Values - 1000,666 or 1200,666" I think it...

To be honest, i don't care. :) this Asus was running flawlessly even with 85 deg CPU. Important how it is performing, not how warm or cold it is. :D Agree that some Asus hardware developers should be fired after such device design, but that's not our desicion. If Asus is still happy with them...

just made fast test - i have small 60mm fan from Noctua for PC cases (didn't fit into my old Qnap before), so i made simple usb-connected fan. Same bungeed to back of router gave me in 3 minutes drop down of CPU temperature from 85 to 76 deg C. :)

you are right! But I am now considering which size i need to buy. Maybe 80 mm fit better? Or one 140 mm? that's why asking about picture - to understand real dimensions comparably to router body.
