You can use script to do it, format usb to ext4, install entware and then go to

Same here, updated, no hardware verification.

Good to know. FYI there are now increasing number of reports of some TM1900 router hacked into AC68U are being stopped by the closed source code from ASUS for Merlin. Plus be very careful if you need to update to a later firmware revision (stock or otherwise). ASUS seems to be updating the CFE due to possible concerns surrounding copyright with regards to proprietary code from some component vendors.

As mentioned earlier, use PuTTY. Google on how to use it

The TM-AC1900 is made to be used for T-Mobile USA
Hence the wireless channel is locked and the Tx Power is also locked to a lower level because of the region lock whereas the TM-AC1900 is capable of providing the same wireless strength of the RT-AC68U

WS880 flashed with advanced tomato, used for almost 2 months already. happy with the built in adblock function, can shutdown my pi-hole.

How's the stability and performance of this firmware compared to Merlin? I'm thinking of switching but heard some reports regarding wireless drops.

More or less is almost the same, at least to me. The reason of switching to tomato is because adblock and bandwidth reporting function.

How’s the AC68U compared to WS880? I believe there shouldn’t be much difference?

Bigger RAM
Other than that, nothing else

Wireless coverage is just about 5% better than WS880 but only if you apply the codes in my previous posts
Without the codes, the wireless coverage of the TM-AC1900 is actually weaker than the WS880
