Hehehe I'm the first one who noticed that Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.260.22 is out.
Look at: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-mer...DME-merlin.txt
No yet available on github... but i think it will be soon.
Asuswrt-Merlin - build 3.0.0.4.260.22 (8-Dec-2012)
==================================================
About
-----
Asuswrt is the firmware developped by Asus for their newer routers. They are
also porting it to some of their older models, like the RT-56U and RT-N16.
While originally based on Tomato-RT, Asus has disabled some of the
original Tomato features, and added others.
Asuswrt-merlin is a customized version, which I am developping.
The goal is to do some bugfixes and minor enhancements to Asus's firmware,
without targeting at full-blown advanced featuresets such as provided by
excellent projects like Tomato or DD-WRT. Some of the features
that had been disabled by Asus have also been re-enabled.
This aims to be a more restrained alternative for those who prefer to stay
closer to the original firmware, with limited risks of seeing new
features bring in new stability issues. I value stability over
performance, and performance over features.
Supported Devices
-----------------
Supported devices are:
* RT-N66U and RT-N66R
* RT-AC66U and RT-AC66R
These devices have experimental support (because I don't own one to test it):
* RT-N16
Features
--------
Here is a list of features that Asuswrt-merlin brings over the original firmware:
System:
- Based on the 3.0.0.4.260 source release from Asus
- Various bugfixes (like the crash on VPN/NAT Loopback access of LAN devices)
- Persistent JFFS partition
- User scripts that run on specific events
- Cron jobs
- Customized config files for router services
- LED control - put your Dark Knight in Stealth Mode by turning off all LEDs
Disk sharing:
- Act as a Master Browser
- Act as a WINS server
- Optionally use shorter share names (folder name only)
- Disk spindown after user-configurable inactivity timeout
Networking:
- WakeOnLan web interface (with user-entered preset targets)
- SSHD
- Allows tweaking TCP/UDP connection tracking timeouts
- CIFS client support (for mounting remote SMB share on the router)
- Layer7 iptables matching
- User-defined options for WAN DHCP queries (required by some ISPs)
- Improved NAT loopback (based on code from phuzi0n from the DD-WRT forums)
- Dual WAN support (both failover and load
balancing supported) (EXPERIMENTAL) (RT-N66U, RT-AC66U)
- OpenVPN client and server, based on code originally written by
Keith Moyer for Tomato and reused with his permission. (RT-N66U, RT-AC66U)
- Option to control Spanning-Tree Protocol support.
Web interface:
- Clicking on the MAC address of an unidentified client will do a lookup in
the OUI database (ported from DD-WRT).
- Optionally save traffic stats to disk (USB or JFFS partition)
- Enhanced traffic monitoring: added monthly, as well as per IP monitoring
- Display active/tracked network connections
- Name field on the DHCP reservation list and Wireless ACL list
- System info summary page
- Wireless client IP, hostname, rate and rssi on the Wireless Log page
- Wifi icon reports the state of both radios
A few features that first debuted in Asuswrt-Merlin have since been
integrated/enabled in the official firmware:
- 64K NVRAM (RT-N66U)
- HTTPS
- Turning WPS button into a radio on/off toggle
