Reply To: ASUS – DSL-AC88U / DSL-AC3100 Firmwares (beta's) etc. Looks like a new Beta Release for the DSL-AC88U is available, this version has Telnet enabled and improved 2.4GHz wifi (I believe).

I managed to get the /opt directory to automount to asusware.arm with entware installed so after reboot and then i enter telnet then cd /opt/ and it returns /tmp/mnt/hdd/asusware.arm/ i just have not figure out how to get paths to set auto to /opt/bin and /opt/sbin.

the way i got the /opt symlink to autolink on reboot of modem/router was to install download master then reboot.

i then telnet into modem and then copied the .asusrouter file from asusware.arm to ../ so in main hdd directory to create a backup of the automount /opt. i did not modify the file as unsure if it will function but symlink does work to /opt. the steps below should help same as krvi mthods but not using ln -sf /tmp/mnt/entware/asusware.arm /tmp/opt.

Here are the steps i took in a clean way to follow.

Step 1: Install Download Master from within the ASUS DSL AC88U GUI then Reboot once installed.

 

Step 2: Telnet into 192.168.1.1

Step 3: cd to /mnt/hdd/asusware.arm/

Step 4: cp .asusrouter ../

Step 5: cd ../

Step 6: rm -rf asusware[.arm]

Step 7: reboot

Step 8: Once rebooted telnet again to 192.168.1.1

Step 9: mkdir /mnt/hdd/asusware.arm

Copy Backed Up .asusrouter to asusware.arm Directory.

Step 10: cp /mnt/hdd/.asusrouter /mnt/hdd/asusware.arm/

Step 11: reboot

Step 12: Ignore yellow exclamation mark explaining USB apps are corrupt, once entware is installed and you reboot yellow exclamation mark disappears.

Step 13: telnet into 192.168.1.1 once again :)

Step 14: cd /opt/

output should show

/tmp/mnt/hdd/asusware.arm/

Step 15: wget -O – http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/installer/generic.sh | sh

Step 16: reboot

Step 17: Figuring out how to add /opt/bin and /opt/sbin to PATH variable during reboot. ( i haven’t figured out this step yet :( )

I hope this helps.
