I bought a ASUS RT-ac66 Everybody that uses it have from B G N no AC . I was a MCSE and network trained after I got out as I have plenty of time since I am disabled. I turned this router to 200 and it seems ok . I have heard you can put Merlin firmware on it and get up to 300. Every heard of a different firmware that has more power than the ASUS. I also herd that it if you upgrade to the last firmware it had removed the power sitting can you check and see if that is true. Thanks
I am a disabled veteran and give wireless to others like me in a simi rual area . I also live near a Bungalow colony . They are open during the summer. This year they put in wifi and they charge per day but will not let me pay for using theirs. If I could I could set a my router to repeat the signal . I had been saving over a year to buy a better router . I have 2 wrt54g and had DDRT on both and cranked the power to 250 all ok then they started dying from overheat
Thanks for advice but now i fall out less not often now, i changed my channel to 13 i used also wifi scanner. To check what channel my neigbor`s use, but it keeps falling less now. It`s still bugs me alittle, it feels like a time-out and the router reconnect again..
Hey I installed Merlins Firmware the 354 Beta..I installed it correctly an its working..just not sure the added features in the firmware.Like Persistent JFFS2 partition there are 2 options under it to leave it turned ON an to format at boot..was wondering if those both always stayed on or not..Im not sure...I know the basic settings to set up a router..any Input would be awesome ..sorry for the long post...
Hi Sccerstr09 I have bought the asus router, and when i play on Wii u i just falling out every 10minutes. I have updated the newest updates, what can it be? Can you help me?
Hey man..great!!! How do you connect it to internet? how do you use this ethernet port? Can you please give me some details...i'm just starting for this stuff...
Hey bud...thx for the vid. One quick question. I noticed that at the time you posted this vid that the .354 version was noted as the most current version. However, when I went to the same asus URL, today(7/1/13), that version was noted as 'Beta' version...?.? Is there something going on with that firmware now? Should I go ahead and update my firmware with that version or just keep the .270 version. Thanks in advance!
I am dissapointed on how crappy it works. My ping 10 folds and my throughput is 20 times lower compared to when I put the USB s tick directly into the computer on my rt-ac66u. And googling shows I'm far from the only one. Come on Asus, you can do better than this! Please upload some non-broken FW!

Thank you for showing us the firmware upgrade process. Worked like a charm.

Do you have to be connected via ethernet port while doing this?

Is there a way to downgrade to previous verson that works? All the tutorials I find mention an Asus-utillity that's not on their support page anymore.

I cant reboot for some reason. I tried 3 times turning it off and on again
is there a difference in firmware between the U and R versions?
brick my router all time restart and back v3.0.0.4_270 work agian :(
Thanks for confirming the update utility built in does not work!
Thank you so very much I’ve been trying for 3 days to fix my ASUS! This did the trick amazing brother!
I had to download and install the firmware manually.
nice video. In hindsight maybe clean up the router before making a video?
Thanks! Worked perfectly.
Thank you
