If I order the RT-AC66U B1 today, and when I receive it, will I be able to flash into it:
1) old fw v380.59
2) latest v380 legacy (currently 380.69_2)
3) only ng v384
Please, be absolutely specific for each.
Background: I am thinking of buying a new router to replace one irrelevant AP at one location so I will have a spare router nearby, should the need occur. This is related to where I live and possibility that I may have to wait for a week or more to get a new router. I do not tolerate any downtime over several minutes.
Now I use ASUS RT-AC68U, among others. I like RT-AC66U B1 for the fact it is the same as 68 but cheaper. I would prefer for RT-AC66U B1 to have the same fw as all my other routers: Asuswrt-Merlin - build 380.59.
I do not care about discussing later fw verions as being better or more secure or whatever. I want the same features and versions of everything everywhere, if possible. This particular 68 is in a network with 15-20 computers and is currently 177 days up. So, it works good enough for me.
