Hope you folks like it

I have just released a first beta version for the RT-AC66U. This version provides all the same
improvements available for the RT-N66U version, such as JFFS, SSH, user-scripts, etc...

You can download it on the Github repository: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/downloads.
The complete source code is also available there. For more info: http://www.lostrealm.ca/asuswrt-merlin/

For the past months I have been providing a custom firmware for the RT-N66U, based on Asus's code
(see this thread for more details). I will post development news on my Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/RMerlinDev

AsusWRT-Merlin - Asus RT-AC66U 3.0.0.3.178.15

Downloads: ASUS_RTAC66U_3003178_RM15.zip

First release for the RT-AC66U. Changelog 3.0.0.3.178.15:

• - NEW: Rebased on 3.0.0.3.178. Notable fixes by Asus:
  
  • Radio turns back on based on schedule
  • Reorganized QoS pages
  • Turning WAN DHCP connection off will first release current DHCP lease
• - NEW: RT-AC66U officialy supported, with all the same features as the RT-N66U.
• - NEW: (RT-AC66U) Implemented JFFS support. Limiting partition to 32 MB max, as using
  the whole 90+ MB available makes little sense for JFFS, and was also displaying some issues.
• - NEW: Added nat-start user script, as NAT rules get applied separately from other firewall rules
  (firewall-start changes to the nat table are being overwritten when the router starts NAT)
• - NEW: Added additional info to Sysinfo page
• - NEW: Added chroot applet
• - NEW: Option to allow SSH access from WAN
• - NEW: Option to exclude specific devices from idle spindown
• - FIXED: Performance page now uses the new Sysinfo API,
  and is now able to deal with cases where radios are disabled.

NTFS Read 	9.4 	8.7 	10.3 	11

All three use the same Broadcom BCM4706 CPU. At 256 MB, the AC66U has double the memory of the other two routers,
but the same amount of flash. The same Broadcom BCM4331/BCM4360 radio SoCs are used in all three products.
But the ASUS is the only one of the three to use dual-band external antennas vs. six internal single-band. This means the
external circuitry connecting the radio SoCs to the antennas is different. It looks like the Skyworks 5 GHz amplifiers made it
into ASUS' design. The BCM4360 5 GHz radio is toward the top of the photo; the BCM4331 2.4 GHz radio is toward the bottom.



Removing the bottom plate revealed 128 MB of Samsung flash (K9F1G08U0D) and 2 MB of Macronix serial flash (25L1606E).
There are no thermal pads connecting the plate to the board, so thermal connection must be made from board inner layers
through the six metal standoffs that connect the plate to the board.
