Just plugged in my new router, and have a couple of quick questions.

First of all, is there any website with recommendations of settings? I remember seeing one before I went and ordered this one but lost the link :(

Firmwire version say 3.0.0.4.374_379-g9540d57 and if I click "Check" it says there is no updated firmware available.
Downloading the latest firmware from the asus website though, the file is named RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_374_4422-gc83c78f.trx, shouldn't that show up as an updated firmware?
Or should I skip those two alltogether and install Merlins version? What do you guys recommend?

On my last router, I had DD-WRT wich worked fine, it had an option to automatically update my dynamic dns (freedns.afraid.org) ip, is that functionality available in any of the firmwares?

Thanks!

Edit: allright just found this thread about dnsomatic so atleast that's taken care of :)

I would skip the latest asus firmware there is a issue causing random reboots. Merlin says Asus is releasing a fix at any time. I running Merlin 39 on my 68U and it works good no issues for what i use it for.
 
Is there a way to name the different devices that connect to the router? Sometime the name of the device shows next to the mac or ip. In DD-WRT it is possible.
