    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.38 is out

    I have been running 374.36_beta1-sdk5 on my N66U. I changed over now to the 374.38_0-em and at least with 5Ghz I am seeing no diminishment at all when testing with my HTC One. From 5 feet away I am seeing the same -36dBm - -39dBM as with sdk5 and from 40 feet away (direct line of sight -45 dBm)...

    New Asus RT-87U

    For me, yes, since I am really into using the OpenVPN client here in Montreal and I have an N66U. I am with Videotron in Montreal and have a 30/10 Mb/sec connection (it consistently gets 30 Mb/sec down not using the VPN). Using the VPN client (not via the router) from ExpressVPN I get...

    RT-N66U; VPN Speeds

    Thanks admiral2145, While composing a reply to my own message (tacky I know :) I saw that you had replied to it. I had found the following thread *again*, I did see it about a couple of weeks ago but forgot about it. http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=12315 From that...

    RT-N66U; VPN Speeds

    Hi, I am in a bit of a quandary here. I have an N66U and am using Merlin's excellent 374.35_4-sdk5. I have an account with ExpressVPN and have configured my router to handle everything (OpenVPN) as opposed to using the client. This client too uses OpenVPN. I have a fast Windows 7 box and a...

    Asuswrt-Merlin on AC66U and HMAC

    I know Merlin has answered you but I am not following his response very clearly. At the outset, let me say that I am using an N66U and have an OpenVPN client with Expressvpn. I have tried two firmwares and both work fine for me, namely 374.34_2-sdk5 (ignore the sdk5 bit in this and the next...

    With each of your phones, what speed are they showing as connecting with the N66U? Thanks.

    New RT-N66U Firmware release from Asus

    Burtal, did you actually try and download this at the time you posted or did you just note that this was up?

    New RT-N66U Firmware release from Asus

    The link "worked" a few minutes ago, "worked" as in downloading something. However, what file was there in the placeholder was 272 and not the supposedly new 372. Trying again now and the link is dead.

    Faulty antenna coupling

    This is an update on my original post. Yesterday I had a live chat with an Asus representative and initially it did not go well. The suggestion was either send the router back to the online reseller or buy an antenna from the e-store (as I said previously, that would be $15 + $15 shipping)...

    Faulty antenna coupling

    How do you retighten? Since I have had the "benefit" of seeing a bit of the construction, to me the way to tighten it would appear to be to push it in a bit. When you look at the antennas looking downwards, do you see very narrow gaps between the knurkled part that connects to the router and...

    Faulty antenna coupling

    Thanks very much for your reply. I did have a look at the Delock one and it does indeed appear to be identical to the asus wl-ant-157. However, in actual fact it is more expensive in the US than the Asus model: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AD1D0B2/?tag=snbforums-20. At Amazon the Asus is as...

    Faulty antenna coupling

    I joined this forum a few days ago to learn more about my router and hopefully to contribute something. Unfortunately, my first post is about a problem and I need assistance on an issue. This is my second N66U, the first one I received having a defective lan port out of the box (intermittent...
