I am back looking for a powerful (single unit) router after experimenting with mesh routers and came across these routers at Amazon.

    Have you loaded the ad blocking scripts via AMTM? Well worth it - it even can block youtube ads …

      Not sure what you mean please send me some links or references

      Unsure how to get to amtm itself

      Do you need to SSH and run some commands?

      Which script does YouTube ad blocking

        AMTM is "baked" into Merlin firmware - you access it by SSH into the router. The add blocking script is called Diversion, and one of the options is to block youtube ads - Follow instructions on how to install it here -

        https://diversion.ch/amtm.html

        Also, checkout the forum page if you have questions on Diversion and the many other scripts you can install via AMTM:

          @howdydood: Thanks for this I got diversion setup using https blocking as default under standard

          However I found an issue. Using speedtest, upload speed has gone down to less than 0.5Mbps vs 30Mbps i had before i turned on Diversion.

          I did a test while Diversion is disabled, and everything back normal for upload speed on speedtest.

          Do you have this issue? and i wonder why that is
