Asus rt ac5300 firmware

[Lex300]

Hi i just signed up here after some googling and your site has a lot of guys with alot of information regarding routers . I'm buying a asus ac5300 and after reading im best to put a merlin firmware on it . Can anyone tell me which one i need .i clicked on merlin and there's a lot of different firmwares for the ac5300 . Im no tech guy so simple instructions would be great . I brought the router for online gaming for my ps4 which is wired and for good wifi. Any help would be great .thank you

The most recent firmware at this moment is 384.4_2. Ignore the 380.x firmwares, that is the legacy firmware that will not be updated any more.

Why not get the 86u instead. Its new and better CPU.
