It is a TM1900 converted. So will this cause security and/or performance issues (everything seems okay), but I don't want to end up with vulnerabilities using an incompatible firmware.

Thanks Swisheater, but I see Eric's post below and this one I have is a TM1900 that I converted.

Hi Eric, I moved over from Hggnomes 380.70 with no issues on a ac68u, except my client list will not show up under the network map. However, the clients seem to have no issues connecting and getting out on the internet. JD

I really like his firmware. Its TX level is great and its stable. I hope he doing well. It's a little unusual for him to be out of sight.

Vacation is unacceptable! Here in America we just work until we die. :D Good for him. This time of the year school is back in session for us, but we had a great time in Ireland back in July. Driving the back roads was crazy at times, but beautiful country. I am glad he is still around...

Hello all, I am trying to get Hggomes latest and greatest firmware. I PM'd and emailed him last weekend with no response. I saw that he had a 380.65 on his latest text file, but of course he won't post the firmware and in the past I always had to email him, but this time it seems he maybe...

Interesting, I wonder if the TM1900 will be spec the same way. Hopefully this does not pose a problem to change out the CFE and use other FWs

I see I could do the same. Since the the refurb is pretty cheap (those deals come all the time). I will try with the TM router first and see if that meets my needs. Then expand with a AP if needed. Thanks

Thanks, I saw that review. The P variant ranks pretty low right now duet to its 5ghz performance. I can get the T-Mobile 1900ac for a $25 dollar deposit. I think I will try that route first and change up the CFE. I will post my results in that thread. JD

Thanks RMerlin, Is the newer firmware (ASUS or RMerlin) providing better performance nowadays? In SNB's review, it did not fair well. I am also thinking about a TM 1900 and converting it to a 68U through a CFE change.

Hello to all, Currently I have a Netgear 3500L, but I see a refurbished Asus 68P for $109. I have a large house and I am looking for better performance, parental controls, and over all better security/support (no more updates from Netgear). Just wondering the following: 1) 68P vs. the U/R in...

Thanks Tim. So due to the testing of the 68P and C9, it allowed the 880L to move up.? I guess I don't follow if the others i.e. 1900ac or 68U have great rankings in most categories don' their positions stay the same? JD

I am wondering why the 880L move up to 2nd place in the router rankings? Was there a retest? :confused:

Thanks htismaqe. I did not know it got that hot. That is crazy. Did it perform well for you anyways? I believe you said you did not like the range on it for your situation?

Thanks RogerSC. I see you everywhere! :) Good point about the pricing nowadays. If one is savvy with Amazon's CC promo deal, you can get them down to into the $120. I am still very interested in the WRT1900 since OpenWrt is moving along finally. But to expensive for my tastes at this...
