I still have two. I'm really having a hard time making the decision to replace them, when they still work as well now as they did 8 years ago, running Tomato the whole time.
But the number of devices connecting and the bandwidth they require are only increasing, and 802.11n or 802.11ac would really help with some of them. I also have desire for a relatively inexpensive wireless router that does not attempt to prevent me from loading on it whatever software that pleases me to run. I will not pay a full purchase price for any device that I cannot own.
That doesn't necessarily mean I won't ever have such a device; it just means there has to be some way to jailbreak it before I will consider buying.
- __jal 10y agoThe AC68U is hackable and overall a pretty reasonable device. The only issue I've seen was that it had some weirdness with power levels with some revision of the Merlin firmware (I forget which one), in which it would report much higher output than a spectrum analyzer showed. I don't recall the fix, so it must have been fairly simple.
