Thanks broJust need to download the file and follow the instruction. Quite simple, but I old school, update firmware, I connect by lan cable to update.
So if i use merlin, can i still monitor n update via asus app?leaps and bounds better..
in fact, many of the features that are available on the official Asus firmware are implemented after Merlin improved and created them on his firmware.

You mean check for new firmware versions and update via the app? You can't do that for RMerlin firmware as the Asus app only knows about the official Asus firmware.So if i use merlin, can i still monitor n update via asus app?

you can still use the Asus router app as per normal..You mean check for new firmware versions and update via the app? You can't do that for RMerlin firmware as the Asus app only knows about the official Asus firmware.

the app or webui page will prompt you when there are new Merlin firmware updates, upon clicking on it, it will bring you to the Merlin webpage to download the firmware, then upload the file and flash the new firmware.

In our case the reason for needing automatic reboots is a bit involved. My wife has to use her employer's VPN when dialing in. If her DHCP lease expires during a session then she gets kicked off. My workaround is to set the lease duration to one week and have the router reboot 2x/week @ 04:00. This guarantees that her lease cannot expire while she is working during the evening, ever.What is the purpose to set auto reboot?

So automatic reboots are a game changer for us.
need to set it using the webui..Can it be set via App or must use PC?
thanks for noticing.. it's currently on for me to configure some settings only because this router is now on double NAT, but during this brief period there is a built in brute force protection feature that is activated as well.. usually it's accessed via the VPN server method..I suggest you disable SSH access from the internet.
There are bots that scan for open ports and possibly attempt to brute force/guess your password.
A more secure way to access your router remotely is to VPN in and then use SSH.
