    Help Please..Need assistance stopping outbound connections!

    Hi Martineau, thanks for all your help, i've seen you post on a few forums, linking back here, so i'll reply here :). I have these 4 rules in my tomatoUSB firewall script, and they automatically kick it in every boot, which is nice. iptables -I FORWARD 1 -s 10.100.10.17 -o eth0 -p udp...

    Does T-Mobile/ASUS TM-AC1900 (RT-AC68U) Support Merlin?

    Nice, can't complain :). I did some tests, I get about 1-2 db better with the R7000, so i'll just flip my R7000 and keep the 68U. One thing I noticed was the cpu % was about 3-4% higher then the R7000, which was interesting, but it's still quite low (rides 3-5%).

    Yeah, good to know. Also, I can sell the R7000 and probably get 120 for it, when this 68U was 'free'!

    Does T-Mobile/ASUS TM-AC1900 (RT-AC68U) Support Merlin?

    My router has 3.0.0.4.376_2827, which of the guides should I follow to get it on tomato's 130 build? I had not heard of CFE before, how do I check it, I am guessing I need to downgrade it? Which guide is that? I have not plugged the router into the internet. following this guide...

    Which do you prefer? I also have a nighthawk (r7000) up and running. I was thinking of trying the two, and maybe replacing the R7000 with this guy.

    Sounds about right, and I have a feeling at some point they just wont want them back, haha. I'll grab one, see how it goes. Any chance I can just throw tomato on it, I prefer it over merlins. I like a few of the logging/stat features tomato has.

    I just found out I can get three of these, BUT they will want it back. You think they would want it back flashed to their firmware? haha...

    upgrading router - biggest concern is walls

    I have seen a handful of vivi the mage's when gaming for the last 10-15 years online. It's a handle I picked in middle school and have kept ever since, haha. The 68U looks nice, but I may just save the $50 and grab the AC1200 version, it looks like they beefed up the firmware to make 2.4ghz...

    upgrading router - biggest concern is walls

    I played RO, never went outside the official servers though. Right now I play a lot of CSGO, WoW, and my PS4. I have given up most korean mmorpg's, haha. You'll probably hate me, but I have 1GB up and 1GB down via FTTH with USI internet...so my internet pipe is usually restricted by my poor old...

    upgrading router - biggest concern is walls

    I have tried a bunch of orientations, but I am limited in where it can be, as that is where the modem is. I didn't want to have ethernet running on the floor or muck with powerline. Why do you say the AC56U is better then the AC66U ?

    upgrading router - biggest concern is walls

    shouldn't I just go with a RT-AC66U then? Is the RT-N66U not that big of a bump because it has no AC 'synergy'? haha

    upgrading router - biggest concern is walls

    very interesting to see, so what sub 150 router will give me a power bump? The two articles don't specifically think it's related to chip, so I am not sure what I can look for.

    upgrading router - biggest concern is walls

    I hear ya, the devices are all laptops, or tablets, and are a bit newer. I just know i'll never use AC in the next 2-3 years. If I get something and it doesn't help, worst case i'll return it. I just want advice as to what router can push decently? Should I look at the ones with like 23db...
