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…

Long story short, you are correct, I went to AiMesh via my converted DSL-AC68U and selected AiMesh Node and after going thru a couple of options, router rebooted and returned to default DSL-AC68U sudo  configuration excluding the modem stuff .

I will have another play with it later this week as this is so close to working, maybe updating the CFE Bootloader could help ?
