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…

Note: backup original config as this maybe needed to convert back to DSL-AC68U if needed.

I had a little play with my DSL-AC68U after flashing it with ASUS RT-AC68U Stock Firmware

As above, I followed your steps 1 and 2 and then just entered the following commands via PUTTY (Telnet)

nvram set odmpid=”RT-AC68U”

nvram set asuscpeodmpid=”RT-AC68U”

nvram set asuscpecommit=1

nvram commit

and hey presto, a DSL-AC68U that looks and acts as a True RT-AC68U with AiMesh (Node) option ;-)

UPDATE: Command should be………….

nvram set odmpid=”RT-AC68U”

nvram set asuscfeodmpid=”RT-AC68U”

nvram set asuscfecommit=1

nvram commit
