Anyone concern about the router temp can use this USB fan.

The fan actually for U2 Laptop cooler

Definitely will go for the local set, but going in n out their service centre for RMA also no fun at all.  laugh.gif

Been using ASUS products for about 10 years, nearly. Didn't face any problem with their products or after sales service tbh. Maybe depends on luck. biggrin.gif

any short review?

I believe the setting up process of AiMesh should be similar with stock AiMesh setup process. Furthermore, I didn't have any asus router in spare to test the feature out in merlin mode. tongue.gif

just got my chinese unit of RT AC86. took me a while to setup because i missed the IPTV setting... so far so good yet, not sure if i should use to merlin firmware.

If you're happy with the stock firmware, I mean, if it serves well, then you can stick with the stock firmware bro. If the stock is honda, then the merlin is bmw.

i like the idea of use phone app to turn off the wifi before going to sleep, and then next morning turn on the wifi by pressing the button. if i flash merlin will i able to do this?

The answer is yes. You can use the wireless scheduler to do this.

Go to wireless > professional > Enable wireless scheduler <<Click on time scheduling>>

[attachmentid=10301575]

Then drag/select the time you wish the wireless band (let it be 2.4GHz or 5GHz) to be automatically turned off during the configured time. And yes, it works well.

nice, the GUI actually very similar with asus stock firmware.

Yes. and as bro blacktubi quoted, asus-merlin allows to customize your router according to your own preferences. It also supports scripting and diversion & pixelserv (router level adblocking). The stock firmware is good. But merlin offers you over the edge to do anything you want with your router. I am quoting, "Merlin tend to fix and release security patches earlier than ASUS's engineer does".

The stock firmware is good tbh. No worries. It is still secure compared to its competitor brands. biggrin.gif
