Explore the official firmware first.
If you still have a thirst on using 3rd party firmwares, you can always try AsusWRT-Merlin.

Hey bro...tq for replied...

Yup....still not fully explored the asus fw..
As far that i know there are 3 stable 3rd party fw for ac68u.
1. AsusWRT-Merlin
2. DDWRT kong build
3. Tomato

Some says the merlin fw was build for performances...
While kong ddwrt for features n tomato mix of both

Any of you guys tries any of these...would love to hear some feedback...

Tq

AsusWRT-Merlin 378.50 BETA 2 has been released.

Changelog:
CODE
378.50 Beta 2 (31-Jan-2015)
  - NEW: Added custom config and postconf support for avahi, netatalk
         and mt-daapd (iTunes server).
  - CHANGED: Moved the AC68U CFE update process to the same location
             as in GPL 3626 to see if it works more consistently.
  - FIXED: Non-DPI build of AC56U had incompatible Tuxera modules
  - FIXED: vsftpd wouldn't start if you had IPv6 enabled.
  - FIXED: Asus had disabled the NAT loopback fix on MIPS's iptables
           in GPL 3762.  Re-enabled.
  - FIXED: Wireless clients that hadn't communicated in a while wouldn't
           be properly shown on the Wireless log (patch by pinwing)
  - FIXED: QoS rules weren't applied properly when IPv6 was enabled
           (was changed in recent GPL - reverted it)
  - FIXED: Can't apply a Custom DDNS if you don't have something entered
           in the username/password fields (shown in other DDNS services)
  - FIXED: NFS page wasn't properly loading

Dear asus.. i had rt ac68u for a year.. it work fine until 8 months ago.
My unifi hyptv facing problem. Images on tv hyptv kinda pixelated from time to time... worst it happen every 3-4 secs.. (green to purple color.pixel across the tv screen..)
I called unifi at that time and they came to check. My connection is ok (vip20)..
The technician seems to puzzle..but then he change the router to tm standard router and the provlem solved. He said its my router.. he suggested i update the firmware. After updating firmware (at that time) the problem solved.

Only a week ago the problem reoccured. I tried updating the firmware to the latest but the problem still not ok.

Pls advise. Tq

Hi enJiNer,

May I know what is the current firmware that you are using and do you mind share some picture of the "green to purple color.pixel across the tv screen".

Thank you
