Reply To: Converting DSL-AC68U to RT-AC68U for use as AiMesh Node – Solved I’m sure there were a series of posts on the old forum about hacking a DSL-AC68U to make it into an RT-AC68U. Sadly those posts are lost and not cached…

Thanks for the above, I found the same list of commands after a huge amount of digging elsewhere.

Need to confirm that router can find the AiMesh Node later on (main router currently in use).

Part One:

Steps taken so far:

Download and unzip latest RT-AC68U firmware from asus.com

Download, unzip and install Recovery Tool from asus.com

Factory resest DSL-AC68U

Put DSL-AC68U into Recovery Mode by holding reset while powering on and waiting for flashing power LED.

Connect to DSL-AC68U with ethernet cable and manually set IP to 192.168.1.10 and gateway to 192.168.1.1.

Run Recovery Tool, browse to find RT firmware and upload.

Wait for 5 – 10 mins.

Reboot when instructed to.
