What's the difference between the Asus firmware and Merlin firmware? Which one should I get?

Hi, I just got this router. What is the best firmware (and version) should I use for this? Is there a Merlin firmware for this unit? Also, is there anything I should disable in the settings (due to bugs)? I kind of read somewhere that smart connect isn't working and should be disabled? (not sure)

May I know why the AC68U is better than the AC-88U? I am looking at the AC-88U and it looks good. Does the AC-88U offer longer range? The nice thing about the 88U is that I can see the usage chart of those who are connected so I'd know who is hogging a lot of our bandwidth ;) The QOS Bandwidth...

I am looking to get a new router as I will be giving my old one to my parents. I was using an AC66u. What router should I get with a budget of $300+ We have: 2x desktops (wired) 2x laptops (wireless) 4x IPAD (wireless) 5x iPhone (wireless) 3x TV (wired) (Netflix) 1x PlayStation 4 (wireless)...

Ummm why PM? Your review and opinion would be very useful for other people as well. I'm also interested if the range of the 88u is much better than the n66u. =)

I wonder how the range is on this router? Do you think it will go much farther than my n66u?

Happened to me too. My N66u power switch broke all of a sudden after 1 year of use. I hope they rectify this problem in future models.

I currently have an Asus N66u and I would like to upgrade my router. I am looking at the AC3200. Does the AC3200 have longer range than the N66u? If so, how much longer? Thanks.

system error message - Thanks for the reply but I think you skipped the part where I mentioned that the child in question is a "special child" (autistic) hence directing his energy to math or programming is not an option. If we don't limit his internet/computer usage then he will never sleep nor...

Thanks. It says that there is an upgrade to the router you linked. Amazon says this is the upgrade. Is this better? D-Link AC3200 Ultra Tri-Band Wi-Fi Route

Hi, I need your help. We have 3x desktops , 3x notebooks, 4x ipads, 5x iphones, 5x smart TVs, etc in our house. I have configured each to have a manual IP. We often use netflix (max of 2 users watching at a time), youtube, facebook. Now, I am in need of a wireless router that can do the...

Entirely different? I thought tomato was based from the stock firmware and it is DDWRT that is entirely different. Hmmm. I need to read more LOL. Maybe it is Merlin that is based on the stock firmware and not tomato.... lol

analogkid - thanks for the heads up! this doesn't apply if I use tomato/merlin firmware right?

Can you give me a rundown on what the difference is between the two? Thanks
