Would you be able to discern the differences during normal home use between RAM size and wireless speed? laugh.gif
The RAM size does make a difference when you're running DLNA, FTP, VPN, downloading torrents through the Download Master & other extra functions

The extra 128MB RAM will allow you to use more functionality all at the same time

I just wonder if we could upgrade the RAM by replacing the BGA chip like in the age of RT-N16 hmm.gif

By the way, I'm not saying the WS880 is a bad router. It's a very good router, I'm just stating the differences between the 2 routers, that's all smile.gif

Flash it to stock China firmware. You will lose the unifi preset, but you still can set the vlan manually and also the dns server.

Yes. Very easy to use, everything is easily setup. Just need to get your UniFi username and password ready. biggrin.gif

Beautiful GUI, highly stable, easier to find everything, free DDNS & the capability of using the Asus Router app

Why upgrade RAM when you can just use a swapfile?

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wik...-2-Asus-routers the last part there. I'm already out of RAM when doing my rsync backups, so that helped a lot.

Of course it won't perform as well as if you had 256MB RAM. But suits my purpose for it.

Can we revert back to stock firmware? Just in case
Is there a tutorial for it, or can we backup current firmware version to be restored later

Hang on, let me check if I also have that issue by hiding both my 2.4GHz & 5.0GHz SSID
Will get back to you

Addendum: How long did it take for the router to hang / die?
