AsusWrt-Merlin Firmware 3.0.0.4.376.48.1 for RT-AC56R Description

The AsusWrt-Merlin firmware was developed with the primary goal of boosting the original ASUS firmware, fix bugs and also add new improvements. This package includes a customized firmware targeted at ASUS routers that brings various changes without modifying the interface of the original firmware.

Fixes:

- FIXED: Max-lease calculation Asus introduced in 376_2769 is broken - re-hardcode it to 253 like they used to do in previous release. Will be properly fixed once they release a newer GPL with this issue resolved. (Asus bug)
- NEW: Added the RT-AC68P to the list of supported devices
- CHANGED: Use sha256 checksums instead of MD5 for improved security when validating your downloads. (note: checksums are also posted on the support forum at SmallNetBuilder)
- CHANGED: Switched my fix for unmounted/hidden partition support with Asus's own fix from GPL 3561.
- FIXED: Samba would fail to start if the router admin username contained uppercase characters. Samba was modified to have it try to local the UNIX user as provided (it was previously only trying upper and lowercase versions) (Samba 3.6 bug)

Installation Notes:

- This custom firmware can be applied like any regular update.
- You should not need to reset to factory defaults.
- You can revert back to an original ASUS firmware at any time.
- Do not load a saved copy of your settings.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
