This install needs to be updated, I just wanted to get the page started.

Special Thanks to Eko

Asus RT-N12 is now supported. Actually it is quite good router for its price.
If you don't need USB and Giga ethernet and 5GHz, it is good alternative to e.g. Linksys wrt160nv3 etc...
It has bcm4716b0 cpu, 4 MB flash and 32 MB ram + 2 external removable antennas.

Please don't flash any old builds.

Ok, here it is... something to start with.
Unzip file.... then simple GUI update will do.
