Bro are you in Oct 2023 still on Asus latest firmware or did you switch to dd-wrt on 87U? If on dd-wrt how is 5Ghz wifi on it? I mainly use mine as Access point only. Isn't dd-wrt latest update like in 2020 for 87u? What's best firmware now for wifi threwput on 5Gz? I'm looking for 1Ghz...

Is this fork still being maintainted in Oct 2023? I've updated to latest asus 2021 firmware release to get security updates. I'm looking for best wifi threwput on 87u router. It is being use only as Access Point. I wish Merlin would take latest asus base firmware released in 2021 and updated...

No more AC-87U Merlin updates? What is the latest scoop? Thank you in advance.

Merlin thank you for another update of firmware. I have 87u router. I've had some trouble getting .13 from .11 into router. No matter what i did router would get hung up on left 2 lights on and would do webserver page only. Yes i've done router reset but i've had to do .12 first then .13 and...

After few days of testing on wifi I don't see any issues with 384.9. No disconnects. I checked the log but there is so much noise there with reporting hard to know what it report. Thanks Merlin for keeping 87u up to date with GPL releases.

Ah got it. So basically avoid TM-AC1900 which is not supported but rest of them markings are. So one would probably would want AC1900P due to higher clock speeds right.

So basically tmobile branded are ac1900 and ALL non tmobile branded are 68u? Even retail boxes have 68u listed as ac1900 when i look at retail box

How can one tell on ebay for example 68u vs 1900? Most i see are 1900 and people list them as 68u. Asking cause merlin no longer supports ac1900.

Thank you for supporting 87u platform. I'm still on 380.57 for superb open vpn speeds vs current builds. Until this changes i will NOT upgrade but thank you nevertheless. Why is 380.69_2 called legacy? What is new current builds for _69 be called legacy???

I would like to upgrade but I can't lose ~40% boost. I tried 3 times with newer versions .58 even on client 5 and 3 and boost was gone. Maybe ppl are not testing their vpn speeds. Most ppl don't even have vpn, or even have a good one that provides 50Mbps threwput. I have 90Mbps ISP so on .57...

Merlin i'm referring to this, from changelog: 380.57 (24-Dec-2015) - FIXED: Openvpn clients 3 through 5 were all run on the first CPU core. They are now properly alternated like the first two (odd on CPU1, even on CPU0) This vpn code boost as in splitting vpn core...

Thank you. Any following release that has those boosts that addresses major security flaws and is most stable? .58 lost speed. .59 i think too. I knew i tried few after and stayed on .57. If there is release that keeps boost which one?

You can try. 68u i think it was working with that speed. 87u did as well but after like 10 days it would slow down to crawl, every time. You will need a script as well that you can search for. So for me it worked temporarily. That was same case with 1200 speed. After few times i gave up and...

Hello guys. Question to Merlin or John or any advanced member that understands the changes in code. I am still on Merlin 380.57 code release on 87u due it having cpu boost on vpn client 2 and 4 for almost double vpn speed of any 380.57+ firmware. I have tried .58 code and it eliminated those...

Thanks John, Yorgi much appreciate it. No wonder it stopped working. Thanks for guide yorgi too. I'm back up on the router. Thanks a bunch.
