Almost making me pick up a 3rd as a spare for that price!
Seriously with Merlin these "cell spots" are a fantastic deal with features that rival routers selling for 3-4x the price.
Merlin is so easy to install, much easier than say tomato or DDWRT. Although some may like the latter with configurations left to your imagination the Merlin interface is a walk in the park for most to configure.
I currently have two ac68u, one that is newer and one that is very old. The newer one is the main router and seems to be fine. The older one is a wired node, broadcasting it's own wifi networks but seems to have trouble in some spots with my phone (though static devices like Nest cam and Roku seem fine).
I am considering replacing that older ac68u. Which option would be best?
This 67p?
The T Mobile ac68u off eBay?
What about the newer ax1800s in a different thread? It's $20 more than this 67p but its wifi 6... wouldn't that be a better deal?
I've got 3 of the T-Mobile routers. Modded to the newest ASUS firmware and run one with the other two as AiMesh nodes. I'd love any suggestions on configuration for the best performance. Does Merlin provide better results with AiMesh?

Been thinking of upgrading to a more powerful router though.
AC1900 for $37.44 on the last SD is a brute with Merlin, addding a second for ether extension and wireless coverage was painless.

The only real downside is slightly lower power output on unii-3, but I'd imagine individual tolerances can sway it either way.
