    What wifi card are you using on Windows 7?

    My area is pretty quiet. No overlaps. Usually can't even pick up any other networks. I tired both the latest stable of Merlin and Asus. I do find the base Asus firmware to be awkward (coming from DD-WRT and Tomato on other routers). I may try out Tomato. A quick search does return some issues...

    What wifi card are you using on Windows 7?

    I've got an N66U and I'm on the verge of returning it. I have a Linksys WMP600N PCI card and also the USB dongle variant (both are dual band). I'm running Windows 7. I experience bad spikes on the N66U using both stock and Merlin's firmware with these cards (playing SWTOR, for example, lag...

    Password length limitation?

    I'd love to be able to use longer passwords if it's possible.

    PS3 + QoS

    I tried this, but the Internet connection test on the PS3 still returns the same "IP fragments" message. I'm on 3.0.0.4.270.26 (Merlin build). Just because this message appears, doesn't mean there will necessarily be a problem in games. But still... Thanks for the suggestion.

    PS3 + QoS

    I'm not too concerned since I've moved most of my gaming to PC and streaming media still seems to work fine. But I do occasionally game on the PS3. I guess if it affects the game, I can just temporarily turn off QoS. I should also probably mess with using user-defined rules sometime to see if...

    PS3 + QoS

    If I have QoS turned on and set to automatic, when I run an Internet connection test on my PS3s the NAT type check takes a long time (eventually returns type 2), then stops the test saying my router may not support IP fragments and some games may not work correctly. If I turn off QoS, this...

    Before going to Merlin, questions...

    Update: VPN questions (you guys are fast)! 5. PPTP still available in Merlin? I know it's not as secure but it's so dang easy. If yes, can the password field allow more characters (is this an artificial limit imposed by the stock Asus firmware or a design of PPTP)? Or possible to use EAP-TLS...

    Before going to Merlin, questions...

    Thanks, RMerlin! The WOL was why I went to 354, so glad to see it in the Merlin builds.

    Before going to Merlin, questions...

    Before going to Merlin, questions... (added additional questions) Hi, I just bought the Asus RT-N66U. I upgraded to the 3.0.0.4.354 beta firmware, but seem to be experiencing some of the 5GHz problems I've seen mentioned on the forums here. I wanted to try Merlin's build, but had a few...
