Firmware AsusWrt-Merlin 380.59

This new firmware that you can download directly from the snbforums forum we find the following improvements: MU-MIMO support for AC87 / AC88 / AC3100 and AC5300, fixed support with IPTV, security improvements, OpenWRT support patch with samba, section for OpenVPN, NAT settings, SSL certificate among other improvements.

We give you a little reminder of how MU-MIMO works.

What is MU-MIMO? It is a technology that allows, with compatible clients, to take advantage of several router streams in the same emission cycle when a client does not cover them all. So, for example, if we have a 2T2R laptop and a 1T1R mobile, they can transmit and receive at the same time (occupying 3 streams of the router), instead of waiting for each cycle and fighting for broadcast time .

Although normally the Merlin firmware versions are quite stable in their BETA versions, it is recommended to have a backup of your previous firmware in case your router has anomalies.

We recommend reading the guide to the best routers on the market.
