## Aim

This is an official [Merlin fork](https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng) which is supported by [ASUS](https://twitter.com/ASUS) and [RMerlin](https://twitter.com/RMerlinDev?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor): Aim of this project is to make Merlin running on additional routers.

My builds are intended to support all features present in the original Merlin firmware. Occasionally, I also incorporate additional features for specific models. The images are built in the cloud to ensure transparency, and the open-source code is publicly accessible in this GitHub repository.

If you enjoy this project feel free to scroll all the way down and check on how you can ❤️ this project!

#### Experimental builds:
  * [Repeater Mode](https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/tag/gnuton-snapshot-feature-repeater) Unleash  Repeater along with all other [operational modes](https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1015007/). Please note that AiMesh is supported by standard images and it's much performant than repeater but it works only with other Asus routers.

---------------------

### Troubleshooting:
Not sure which version you have? V1? V2? Enable SSH, then ssh into your router and run ```nvram get productid```
