Hi all.
After reading a lot I'm still with doubts about this router. I've read that, due to FCC rules, ASUS "blocked" the option to change output power from this router and although this rules only applied to the US they are applied also in different countries.
I've read that Merlin firmware (top rated around here) is incapable of changing these limits but with some forks, forbidden in this forum, we can still chenge TX power (hggomes).
I've also read that, however, by changing countries we can still change that setting to more power than the one permitted in the US, and it conflicts with the information I've posted above.
And what about DD-WRT and similar firmwares? Are they also limited in the max output power? I think so since that particular aspecto of the firmware belongs to proprietary blobs but I still haven't read anything on that matter.
Can someone tell me what's the "state-of-the-art" on this matter?
