    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I had the same problem with my RT-AC86U. Got tired of waiting, so I did a reset to defaults with the buttons on the unit. When I got the initial setup screen, I reloaded my saved configuration file and everything was normal after that.

    $9 Router Cooling (RT-AC68U Example)

    Thanks for clarifying that for me. I was afraid there was some new type of component that I had not heard of before! Assuming you use a 12V fan, the 5V power from the USB bus is already a significant reduction (in fact some 12V fans may not even start at 5V). Do you think a potentiometer is...

    $9 Router Cooling (RT-AC68U Example)

    This is the second post where you refer to a "pentometer". I can't find any information on what this might be. Are you perhaps referring to a "potentiometer"?

    Do you have an old RT-AC68U - care to share?

    I enjoyed meeting up with you too. Who knew that loaning you the modem would turn out to be a learning experience for both of us? Good luck with the job search.

    Do you have an old RT-AC68U - care to share?

    I have a genuine RT-AC68U, hardware version A2, that I could contribute. I upgraded to a RT-AC88U about a year and a half ago - if I recall correctly there was some bugginess that I was experiencing that I used for an excuse to upgrade, and I think it was ironed out in a later version of the...

    stable merlin FW version for AC88U/68U

    Likewise - another satisfied RT-AC88U user here running 380.66_2 with zero problems.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66 is now available

    WPS switched on after loading 380.66 on my RT-AC88U as well. One nice thing I noted is the radio temperatures are displaying properly now, instead of just saying "Disabled".

    The rmerlin donation thread.

    Donation made. I've flipped back and forth between stock and Merlin's firmware many times, and even though my network configuration is pretty simple, it's become apparent that Merlin's firmware has a number of really handy features for me, so I'm sticking with Merlin.

    rt-ac87u antenna orientation theories?

    The outside antennas tilted configuration is shown in an Asus RT-AC68U FAQ - see https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1004716/

    [RT-AC68U] - WD My Passport 2tb USB 3.0 Problem

    Turns out mine is formatted exFAT. That must be my problem, as Merlin above mentioned that exFat is not supported. I've got a 32 GB Patriot Supersonic (also USB 3.0) that's formatted FAT32 - I might give that a try instead.

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.3813

    Looks like it was the "infected device prevention and blocking" that was causing the communications problem with the thermostat. I turned that off, but now it seems that one of the other two settings is preventing access to Dropbox. I think I'll turn them all off and rely on software security...

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.3813

    Has anyone experimented with the AiProtection page in this firmware? I tried enabling all three settings (malicious sites blocking, vulnerability protection, and infected device prevention and blocking), and found that it killed the ability of my Wi-Fi enabled Honeywell thermostat to...

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.3813

    I agree, the Administration/System page is hosed. My timezone defaults to Alaska - I try to set it to Pacific and then it says my Router Login Name cannot be blank. I then fill in my login name and password and click Apply, and it then says "Specified time interval can not overlap". I...
