How to install Asus Merlin Firmware? (video)

First of all, thanks to Eric Sauvageau, the man behind Asuswrt-Merlin firmware for lot of Asus wireless routers. Merlin firmware has most of the features from the original stock Asus firmware. In addition, the lot of new features have been added or enhanced. Personally, I prefer Merlin firmware over the stock one. And if your Asus wireless router are following one of them – RT-N66U, RT-AC66U, RT-AC66U_B1, RT-AC56U, RT-AC68U, RT-AC68P, RT-AC68UF, RT-AC87, RT-AC3200, RT-AC88U, RT-AC3100, RT-AC5300, RT-AC1900, RT-AC1900P and RT-AC86U, do try Merlin firmware then. You will love it as I do…

Test Internet connection speed

Yeah… I just upgraded my TM Net Streamyx internet package from Streamyx 512Kbps to Streamyx 1.0Mbps. I submitted the upgrade application just before Malaysia Budget 2010 that will give RM500 tax relief on broadband subscription fee. Anyway, I feel that my Internet connection speed was slow and needed to be upgraded to catch up. Therefore, I did it.

So how to test internet connection speed? There is a free tool from TM Net itself ~ TM Speedometer. With it, you can test your Internet connection speed with local server at Brickfields (Kuala Lumpur), Kelana Jaya (Petaling Jaya) and Cyberjaya. However, the test only cover connection within Malaysia only (Most of the Malaysia web servers are located there)
