Hey, I have to get a new router. Looking at a Flint 4 because things are not costly enough as far as I am concerned. I have heard good things about the Asus Merlin firmware though and was wondering are there any upsides to either worth calling out?

    I’ve loved my Flint 2. Being powerful enough to run my VPN and a pretty stout adguard home setup has been huge.

      Adguard is how I am selling it to my spouse. We never use youtube on tv despite wanting to because of the ads

        Adguard still hasn’t fixed TV YouTube ads for me. They inject through a different kind of protocol from what I understand. If you can get Smart Tube on your TV through sideloading (I used Jdownloader on android TV) it will be ad free
