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.
