Glad to hear that the flash on N66U worked!Awesome!
A maintenance update for 374.43
I flashed it on top of 374.43 and so far so good.
Nice work.
MD5 checksum I got for the RT-N66U .trx file: E10E98C4F6CF380B00712A6A6BEEE2A1
Don't be scared, just give 376.44 a try....
I am scared about trying 44 since it seems to cause lot of troubles in very important things like wifi and general speeds... and actually 43.2 is working right for me..
That seems the case as far as I can see.... Is this a build that has the fixes for 44 but the interface of 43_2 ? Any comments would be great..
All the fixes have been committed by Merlin in his master branch. For this build, I merged them in by hand....gave me a chance to double check they were applicable (some I looked at were not) and gave me the chance to work through how git really worked. The exception was the openssl update...that one I let 'git cherry-pick' for me (146 updated files!).Nothing funny in the syslog so far.
Glad to see my MD5 is the same as your source.
For my understanding, the fixes/changes above are they all from Github?
Or did you merge them in yourself?
Merlin kindly tags all his releases in github, so I was able to make a branch of exactly the 374.43 release. With that as a base, I looked at what had been fixed in later builds that may have been seen on the 43 code (a good example is the Plex miniupnpd syslog flood). So I picked up that specific fix and added it to the 43 code.Can someone running this build explain more about it ? Is this a build that has the fixes for 44 but the interface of 43_2 ? Any comments would be great..
Right now the minidlna update is not in the plan (there is one minidlna fix picked up)....Asus actually picked that up, so it's rolled into Merlin's big merge without a specific commit I can go after (and I need to learn more to do an update that bigIs it possible also updating minidlna to 1.1.3?
Thanks for the work.

Great choice!... This is unlike the openssl commit where I was just able to grab Merlin's work (only picked up to stay on top of any security issues).
... I don't want to do too much and end up destabilizing the 43.2 base.
Many, many thanks indeed. Just what the Dr ordered, no pun intended.For those of you not yet ready to update to the latest 376.44 release, I have created an incremental update (fixpack) to 374.43_2.
Don't be scared, just give 376.44 a try.
See if it works in your environment and decide yourself.
If not, simply revert to what you are using now.
I tried 44 two times and went back to 43_2 with no issues just make sure you do a complete factory reset.From what I have read those that went to 44 and that wanted to go back were stuck and couldn't get their settings to work right.
