Question - Any RT-AC87U Fork?

[sentinelvdx]

Hi,

Is there any Merlin's Fork for RT-AC87U? I left it with the last release from Merlin.

Thanks,

I don't believe there is.

If @john9527 isn't supporting it (afaik, he's not), I do not think any other reliable source is either.

It is an official EOL router since there are no longer any official improvements or movements being made with the model.

No, John is not including it... think I'm going to leave it with the one it has unless I find any other useful firm

Stock firmware will be slightly more up to date, however it will still be missing various security fixes. Even Quantenna EOL'ed the 5 GHz SoC years ago, so 5 GHz will be missing any of the wifi-related security fixes from the past few years.

5Ghz is disabled for the moment where it is. 99% of connected devices are far from the router or 2.4Ghz only

Thanks!

You have this (now also outdated) fork available => https://www.snbforums.com/threads/fork-384-13-builds.72845/

That fork looks dead. It hasn't been touched in over a year from what I can tell. It is even using the really outdated stuff.
