ASUS RT-N66U Firmware Query

[Daveo]

I've recently upgraded to an ASUS RT-N66U router.

I'm using the ASUSWRT firmware currently, v3.0.0.4.378.9529.

Is it worth staying with the ASUSWRT firmware, or should I switch over to the ASUSWRT-Merlin firmware, v3.0.0.4.380.58.

The Merlin firmware does have the ability to turn off the LEDs, as my router is not on it's stand and on a shelf above my PC, so I'm unable to see the LEDs from where I'm sat (shelf is approximately 28in above my PC desk).

In other words, I'm asking for people's opinions on which firmware is best, ASUSWRT or Merlin?

Hi,

You can read here all about Merlin's firmware and his Charta - it's simply the better version of Asus' original firmware!
