Asuswrt-Merlin is available in two separate branches:

  • The original (legacy) Asuswrt-Merlin (up to version 380.xxx)
  • The new generation (current) branch (version 382.xxx and newer)

Each branch supports different models. As Asus upgrades models to the new 382/384 code base, they will gradually be migrated to Asuswrt-Merlin's new gen branch, with the exception of the RT-N66U and RT-AC66U which will remain on the legacy 380 branch. Development has been abandoned for the legacy branch.


THE T-MOBILE TM-AC1900 IS NOT SUPPORTED!

If you own the above router, then stop reading this page.

NOTE: all the "R" versions (for example RT-N66R) are the same as their "U" counterparts, they are just different packages aimed at large retailers. The firmware is 100% compatible with both U and R versions of the routers. Same with the "W" variants that are simply white.
