Is this possible now? I've been on the TM router for many years, but stopped updating Merlin 2-3 years ago when there was an issue with reverting to stock firmware because Asus cracked down on it.

The AC2900 referenced in this thread OP is the RT-AC86U.
The RT-AC68U is a AC1900 router.

Do you use the admin firmware page to upgrade or downgrade to a lower firmware or Merlin fw? And you can go back to stock firmware using that same page?

TMobile AC-1900. It was frequently on sale for like $40(sometimes free). Basically ASUS router but for TMobile. You can "jailbreak" it and turn it into Asus AC-68U which is worth hundreds of dollars.

I believe the TM-AC1900 supports mesh so you can easily place another one to extend your range. That’s assuming you flashed it to the Asus/Merlin firmware. I’ve seen that router and the equivalent...
