Okay, so this might be a little superficial of me to ask one of these questions, but I figured I'd give it a try. First of all, I have one of the above mentioned routers and I really like the aesthetics of the router in both the hardware and the software (GUI). One thing I've come across that has been mentioned is that the inherent software for this router is not the best for performance through-put. I've seen some mentions of "bufferbloat" or bloated software, etc. Is that a thing? Can the manufacturer software really strangle performance out of my connection? Also, if I were to upgrade/update my software with "Merlin" would that solve a lot of those kinds of issues?
Last question (this is the superficial one): If I were to use "Merlin" is there any way I could keep the background currently in use by my router? Referenced image for example.
