Hi sifu, was planning to get this router and flash it with Merlin firmware.

Anyone tried whether it works with Unifi HyppTV?

I just get it and it should works with unifi TV as long is Malaysia firmware.

so any new progress? I'm waiting it to be shipped and delivered.

I just order yesterday from shopee..rm282 only..waiting to deliver next few days and hope can try flash with Asus merlin

haha I bought rm280 only

Wah cheaper than me la.haha..bought from ookas?

yes u?

hi bro just get mine today.... should I flash the Merlin right away or late a bit haha. how r u using now? any cons?

Hey! It depends, if you're satisfied with the performance, I think you should just stick with the stock firmware. However, if you're feeling adventurous and willing to take a small risk of bricking the router, I do recommend you to flash the Merlin firmware for the added features. It's a small risk but I did brick my router after performing the factory reset. So, don't ever perform the factory reset.

After flashing with Merlin, I have no issues at all. Everything works as intended after following the guide I posted earlier. I just haven't tested HyppTV but I guess it should work. No cons so far.

omg it bricked after factory reset, I planned to upgrade to 384 branch. anyone tested?

Damn, too little too late. Well, no way to unbrick it from my experience. Your best bet it to let contact the customer service for replacement and be honest about it. They did replace my router even though I said I flashed it with Merlin.

I heard they say after upgrade to 384 branch better do a factory reset but i scare.... Have u tried goes to the newest stable merlin firmware?
Edit: i want to upgrade cause my asus router app cant detect this router merlin firmware

can share the steps after you finish upgraded

Can you test Hypptv whether its working or not with Merlin? My kids need to watch HyppTv

Whoops, misunderstood your post. Thought you performed Factory Reset already. Glad that you didn't.

Anyway, I've tried the latest branch from official Merlin, but the UI is a bit laggy so I didn't like it. So I sticked with latest Koolshare's version. You can try to flash it, just as long as you don't perform Factory Reset. For my case, I don't use the app so I'm fine with it.

Can't promise it, but I'll try when I'm free this week. My TV is gone, so gotta try to connect to my monitor, which is cumbersome.

okook. for the hypptv later I go back I try and tell results.

I confirm it works with HyppTV!
