What is the current status of Dual WAN? Is it working, partially working or not working at all? Is it worth the time to test/troubleshoot a fail-over scenario or there are known problems?

Had this problem in one. Hot glued the button pressed... fastest fix ever!

You are right, it addresses one of the main shortcomings of the AC56U, which is the lack of movable antennas/Wifi Coverage while having a slightly faster CPU at the same price-point. I've replaced both AC56Us at home last night and it solved my wifi coverage issue on 5GHz. Unfortunately, I...

@john9527, thank YOU for this incredible update. It is working so well that I am replacing all my AC56U with these!

Never give up, never surrender! I was just sad that didn't work out of the box like everybody else was reporting... I am happy to help! Here we go, what a mess, eh? ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4 Sat Aug 5 22:46:24 UTC 2017 admin@RT-AC66U_B1-FB90:/tmp/home/root# nvram get odmpid...

I went back to Merlin .67 and everything works as expected (I mean, the lights, radio, etc... I didn't do any in-depth testing on that as it is not the final objective of this test) Repeated the process to install .43 LTS v27 and got the same bad results (no radios, no power LED). This makes me...

Hi John, thank you for looking into this. I sent the syslog file by personal conversation. I am also confirming the version of the router AC66U-B1 (Hw ver B1) Manufactured in 2016 (!!!) and the bootloader is 1.1.2.0

Well, if you all think this is too quiet, lets stir the pot a bit. Yesterday I picked up a new AC66U-B1 (Hw ver B1) and jumped right into it. Booted in the miniWeb and loaded the LTS. Despite a reload of the firmware, multiple Factory resets, JFFS formatting, manual configuration, script...

I just got back from vacation to this fantastic news! I'm picking up a new router to do some tests this week. thank you John!

Thanks John, this is very promising! Running LTS has been a fantastic experience, very little stress compared to the plethora of problems that pop up every time there is an upgrade, not just for router firmware. (PLEX, I am looking at you...). Running Merlin's regular updates was always very...

I've experienced the same problem (also reproducible) since version .50 (got up to .59 and went back to Jon's .43 LTS) If I turn iptraffic without first disabling NAT acceleration (as pointed out by BillyBobX) the router will crash on restart. Before that version, it would automatically disable...

Hi John, thanks for your input. I don't have NVRAM usage numbers at the time of the backup, but considering that they were done before the router has gone into production, it was probably lower than the current usage (which is at 48K) due to user lists, etc... I feel that the problem occurs at...
