No need to start down the somewhat risky road of hacking the CFE Bootloader.
There is a typo* in the instructions I shared.
nvram set asuscfeodmpid=”RT-AC68U”
nvram set asuscfecommit=1
Will do the trick and will survive the reboot.
* Sadly the router will accept any old nonsense that you decide to set, so you went through the right steps to check the settings but sadly the cpe part created a variable that is completely meaningless to the router. Use the corrected commands and it will work.
