What are the benefits of switching to freshtomato for the asus rt-ac68u

Keeps the router up-to-date as far as security. I have to TMo versions running FT. Last Black Friday I bought a new Asus to upgrade the wifi standards. Nothing but problems. Returned it and plugged my trusty AC68U FT back in. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Asus RT-AC66U B1 Ver 2

AC68U is near identical to AC66U_B1, so that checks. Haven't tried it, though. Went with the alternative fresh tomato instead.

Sep 2025 NBN speed update

This is already an issue, just because a router is 1Gbit, doesnt mean its processor can handle that throughput, case in point my old Asus RT-AC68U. It is a gigabit router, but throughput with features turned on max out the CPU and you only get about 700mbit from the WAN. Lots of people with old jank

Post 1000mbit from ISP - how to squeeze the most out of it using XE75Pro?

What else is in front of the AC-68u? The ISP speeds you’re talking about (1,000 —> 1,200 Mbps) sound like DOCSIS cable speeds, so is there a cable modem (or ISP router in bridge mode) sitting in front? For simplicity, I will call this device a modem (even though it may be an ISP gateway device) sinc

Keep losing internet but modem is on

The lan wifi is horrible. I connected an old asus ac68u and have much better .... lan activity. I just upgrade from the sagecom to the g5ar and the local lan is to say the least.. a cluster fuck. The wan speeds are faster to the tmo internet... but after a week of lan work with the g5ar I am having

Does IPv6 improve online play at all ?

I like ASUS routers, in particular the RT range with Merlin support. My last routers covering years of use have been the N66U, AC68U, AC86U, and now AX86U Pro all running Merlin firmware. All performed brilliantly with Xbox and Sony consoles and Open NAT with multiple consoles connected to their res

Need help setting up ipv6 on Deco router

Did you ever find a solution? I'm having a similar situation with my Deco XE70. I know IPv6 should work because it used to work perfectly on my old ASUS-WRT RT-AC68U.
