Answered him already in SNB that he will got no luck, everybody now exchanges this old modemrouter.

There never has been custom firmwares for DSL-type routers.

First I’ve ever seen was about a year ago from Hugo Gomes for DSL-AC68U, but quick and dirty.

And last month Gnuton did a good job with merlin support on this very modemrouter.

Nobody will ever do it for that really old N16 with too slow CPU and poor HW. Its not able to do more computing than needed for basic functions on stock firmware.

Nice would be for the new DSL-AC88U, but due to different hardware it wont ever come too.

 

He can use it as modem-only (dont know if there is such a mode) and use a RT-AC86U behind for routing and everything else.
