I don't think the model is 750N, more likely that's the max speed. Probably you have the 56u or 66u. The Merlin firmware for Asus routers has really improved my experience with the ac-87u. It keeps the stock UI and fixes bugs/adds features. https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca

asuswrt-merlin is awesome. I replaced my ISP's shitty combo router with a barebones TP-Link DSL modem and an Asus AC5300 (which physically looks ridiculous) running asuswrt-merlin. It turned one of the more annoying parts of my day into, eh, nothing. It just works flawlessly for months on end.

You're quite correct, the 750N was from memory. The actual model is an RT-N65R.

That firmware looks lovely! I will give that a whirl when I have time to dink around with it, possibly this weekend. Thanks for that!

Happy to help out :)
