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…

Part Three:

Find the entry for cfg_device_list and copy the MAC Address and replace in both instances of XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX below

Replace XXXX with the last 4 digits of the Mac Address

Enter:

nvram set cfg_device_list=”<RT-AC68U>192.168.1.1>XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX>0″
nvram set dms_friendly_name=”RT-AC68U-XXXX″
nvram set computer_name=”RT-AC68U-XXXX″
nvram set productid=”RT-AC68U”
nvram set lld2d_hostname=”RT-AC68U”
nvram set asus_device_list=”<3>RTAC68U>192.168.1.1>XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX>0>asus>255.255.255.0>1″
nvram set wps_modelnum=”RT-AC68U”
nvram set daapd_friendly_name=”RT-AC68U-XXXX″
nvram set wps_device_name=”RT-AC68U”
nvram set odmpid=”RT-AC68U”

Then reboot your router, it should now identify as an RT-AC68U and allow you to select the option to use it as an AiMesh Node.
