Hi
I’m imminently going to switch my virgin media SHUB from router to modem mode
I’ve just purchased an Asus RT-AC87u (not new)
Couple quick questions please:
1) I’m going to upgrade the firmware . Better to use official Asus one or Merlin one?

Most importantly:
2) I understand the Asus assigns Lan addresses on range 192.168.1.x
Currently everything is on 192.168.0.x
Rather than having to reconfigure each device on my network, can I just change the LAN on the Asus settings and are there any issues with doing this?

I was planning to set up the Asus before I switch SHUB to modem mode (ie before o connect Asus to SHUB)

Thanks
