Hi folks!
I'm coming from WDR4300 using OpenWrt and I just got my AC3200. I'm lost with so many options on the UI but I'm learning fast from so many useful posts around here. My fisrt impression is just Wowwww regarding the wireless range, my aging WDR4300 just can't compare. My house is very rectangular and both ends (borders) just use to got a terrible signal switching to 3G all the time. Now with AC3200 on my Note4 it says Very Strong (it's almost unbelivable).
Since I'm trying to reorganize all my network topology I would love to hear from you, more experienced users, what's considered good practice regarding ADSL modem routed vs bridged. I have always used as bridge and my wireless router use the credentials to authenticate. Should I route it?
I'm using a really cheap adsl modem (opticon) from my provider. Is there any brand/model you guys finds more suitable to match asus routers? I had many headaches in the last months (mainly regarding bad signal) and I want to polish everything I can (if I can afford of course) on my network.
On my OpenWrt WDR4300 I use to have transmission, htop, samba, nfs, nano, all the basic stuff but It's just my first day on Asus world and . Should I jump to Merlin build? Should I just install entware on oficial build?
Acording to oficial documentation AC3200 doesn't support ext4 (my external drivers are usually formated on ext4), is it possible to use it with Merlin build or shoujld I just format all the drives to NTFS?
Thanks a lot for your time,
Joel Teixeira
