I do not
Maybe someone here is kind enough to get you one

Also find my settings for the ps4 lag and adjust accordingly
There may be a setting or 2 in there that is helping this router to be stable
I will try to post an updated settings tonight when I get home

Damn sad. Ever since using Merlins newer fw 378.51_newqtn or the latest 378.52_α3, I keep getting dual wan failover dc on WAN(0). Thus loosing internet connection frequently.
Most likely the new compilation Quantenna drivers or codings of GPL 378_4608 are broken.

No issues for 378.51 or couple of older fw.
(Just that sometimes Secondary Wan isn't on Standby or Disconnected = NO Failover):(

No issues if using either ISP on single Wan.

Minor bugs

Hi , have been using this router since a month ago. Have some questions hopefully someone can help .

Firstly, i have a brother dcp135c printer connected to the usb port. Even though the printing works fine most of the time, it does not show the name of the device under the 'usb 3.0' list box under 'network map'. Anyway to resolve it?

Secondly , (maybe slight off topic) does anyone have a drop of internet speed ever since changing to this modem ? I am using a gigabyte network card with an intel core 2 duo processor and sata 7200rpm mechanical harddrive, does the processor and harddrive affect the internet speed? From what the guys at singtel told me , a old processor and processor like mine affect the speed tested on their website even if i have a nic that supports 1gbps .

Appreciate if someone knows the answer.:s13:

I am now 2 days and 30 minutes in and still perfect!!!

Here are my settings, Thanks to dsring for a lot of great info and thanks to RMerlin for a great firmware

WIFI page
-enable IGMP Snooping on 5GHz
-Short Preamble, DTIM Interval @ 1, and Beacon Interval @ 50 on both wireless bands
-Beam Forming is off, both bands

LAN page
- IPTV tab, and enable both IGMP Proxy and IGMP Snooping, and set the DHCP Routes to RFC3442 & Microsoft
- Switch Control Page - NAT Acceleration, Spanning Tree Protocol, and Enable Jumbo Frames to enable (dsring disables NAT Acceleration and Spanning Tree Protocol)

DMZ to ps4

WAN Page
- OpenDNS Family DNS servers (208.67.222.123 & 208.67.220.123)
- set DHCP Query Frequency to Normal (I need this, some do not)
- UPNP Allowed internal & external port range set from 1 to 65535.

NAT Passthrough page

I see. I have no high ram utilisation even when my hdd is writing or reading, as described by you. If this is bothering you, you might want to disconnect all wireless and LAN devices, including your HDD. Just allow 1 LAN computer to be connected so that you can see the RAM utilisation. Slowly add back the devices to see which one is causing the high utilisation.
