RT-AC68U Older Firmware

[fadsarmy]

Hi, I'm after the firmware released in 2017 but the Asus site only lists the last couple of firmware release. Does anyone know where I can get hold of the older firmware? Thanks in advance.

Any particular reason? Older releases will contain known security issues, and therefore should not be used as a production firmware anymore.

I'm using the RT-AC68U in repeater mode with the latest firmware but just can't get it stable and necessating frequent reboots.

You could try John's fork which is based on earlier code.

A couple of us have a pair AC68U/P setup in repeater mode and ran into instability issues. Long story short, it turned out to be iOS 11 on the iPhone. Link to the entire discussion is below for everything we tried with both Asus and Merlin firmwares.

I’m currently running the latest Asus firmware on both units with no problems.

I saved some of them seen in the list below, but you can use older Merlin and John firmwares too.
