Well, I've flashed with latest merlin 384.4 and it works like charms, IPTV working without problem.

Very minor scratch here and there, expected since refurbish.

Yes the red antenna is cool.

I have upgraded to Merlin RT-AC68U_384.4_2 firmware and setup successfully completed, all good and secured with AiProtection.

Satisfied with the purchase at < RM299.

Asus RT-AC68U power consumption around 10W.

my earlier TP-Link router Archer C7 = 5W.

this models consume 2X the power, i check the signal range for 2.4G and 5G, more or less same.

this ac68u signal is really good, i am staying at 19th floor. then i go to gym at 1st floor, i still can connected to my wifi, it is weak and slow but that's the range lol.. any way to tune down the wifi? is there any setting to set the radius of the wifi ka?
