Thank you guys. I'm deciding which router to order. Basically I want a router that can handle NAS operation (besides basic routing). Can you recomend me any better choise than Asus RT-AC66U?

I've been reading around in regards to the RT-N66U, AC66U and Linksys routers and this whole NVRAM business. For me, it's the VPN that is important, OpenVPN to be exact as I have to VPN from work overseas to my router then VPN from my router to StrongVPN. If the Asus units are problematic with this, what would be recommended in it's place? It's the need for OpenVPN that has led me to DD-WRT in the first place.

Try shibbys latest tomato AIO, it supports 64kb NVRAM and OpenVPN.
Was running it my self a while, but due to lack of processing power I once againg configured my N66U to be an accesspoint only + an old computer with pfsense.

I'm adding OpenVPN to Asuswrt-Merlin these days, so that will provide you with an OpenVPN-capable firmware for the RT-AC66U until the day DD-WRT and/or Tomato start supporting the RT-AC66U.
there was no news for quite some days... I'm looking for a new router (with DD-WRT of course), and I ran into the RT-AC66U. How things are going? Do you think this router will be supported withouth any major issue (like his older brother RT-N66U)? It's an expensive router, so I wonder if is a good shot buy it.
ive got my self the AC66U and cant wait to have the Proper Firmware thats DDWRT on it. Dont need the Extension for Optware but VPN and V-Lan would be great.
The reason ive got my self that router is that the NVRam Nativly is set to 64 and has good power on the CPU.
Right now i have a Linksys WRT-610 ver1 with K2.6 and its running like a champ... Great work guys. ^^
Now its time to move on and cant wait to hear that DD-WRT would support this new Router of mine...
