rt-ac1900P, any issues using router made for best buy?

[nlehrer54]

hi.
i just bought a 1900p from BB.

i realized this is the BB version of the ac68u. will not having the real ac68u create limitations for me if i want to use 3rd party software like ddwrt or tomato?

has anyone loaded them on a 1900p?

thanks

There is only one RT-AC1900P

i realized this is the BB version of the ac68u. should i have gotten a netgear which is available as the manufacturers ver, not the BB? so that i can use other firmware...

Is that a statement or a question? If it's a question please make it clear what you are asking.

You can use the RMerlin firmware on your new 'bb' 1900P. What other firmware do you want to try?

While Netgear makes excellent hardware, their firmware and firmware releases leave much to be desired. Even with the excellent work done by people like Voxel for certain NG products.

You can also use dd-wrt on it if desired.

The RT-AC1900P is identical to the RT-AC68U, Asus even uses the same firmware on both.

Tomato might be problematic because they do not support yet the newer CPU revision used these days by any devices of the RT-AC68U family (bcm4709c0).
