Yes me too. I seem to have a Linksys badged EA 1900 Asus WRT AC68U router with a merlin firmware upgrade. I think - looks like this might brick if I tried a Tomato ug So I found a RTN66u that seems compatible with Tomato. I rather play with that off duty at least I wont loos all my cameras...

Still we are agreed I was sold a pup and should move to a genuine product (have you never been conned with a clone on Ebay?). So I should move to Tomato, any suggestion for a budget N router from their compatibility list, many different makes to choose from bewildering for a noob

I didnt know any of this and bought in good faith thinking it was Linksys badged asus 66 hardware - looks identical

Merlin - illegal ? I didnt know that? It seems to be widely used upgrade on asus basic gui I understood my router was a linksys bdged Asus router 68u hardware? is that so terrible?

OK guys thnx 10^6 for the heads up, tpl for the recycle bin ok. What do you recommend as an alternative cheapo. I particularly what something suitable to operate RTSP IP security cameras. Big problem is reliably setting up static IP/and mac addresses that cant be over ridden by the DHCP. I...

Well I didnt want to go into a drastic firmware change I might end up with a brick. Does tomato solve this problem? I see it has Arp binding, but remember I am a network noob. I have barely got comfortable with asus gui I think my router is a Linksys badged clone with a Merlin upgrade (it was...

I am having a very frustrating time setting up an IP cam system for home. The problem lies with the infamous DHCP and my need (using Onvif Agent RTSP viewr) to set static IP addresses for the cameras. Ive been thru all the pundits advice But what no one wants to admit is thatAsus has a well...

In fact as the OP said below And these devices also show under "DHCP leases" and "Wireless log" tabs of the "System Log" page. There are also "ESTABLISHED" TCP connections for these devices listed in the last, "Connections" tab of that page. it appears these sources in the sys log are the...

AFAIK powerline adapters on live lines are unreliable an definitely stay away, what they are like on passive redundant housewiring ?????? IMHO cams should be run on their own dedicated router and network, The system Im using Tapo from TP link has local sd card storage for 24/7 recording. I...

cascade routers into repeaters, or chains?
