    DLNA issues(?)

    I would like to setup my router to share a content of the connected network driver. I used DLNA on several router softwares but AsusWRT looks very limited to me.

    T-mobile Cellspot (re-branded RT-AC68U) DLNA problems

    Posted this on reddit earlier, but I figured this might be a better place. Tldr; dlna boots off tv after ram usage gets too high. Would Asus-wrt merlin help with this issue? I don't want to potentially brick my router if the new firmware doesn't help. So I was using my cellspot router as a...
