This is interesting. If I converted my DSL-AC68U into a RT-AC68U following this method and then wanted to change back , I presume it would just be matter of repeating steps 1 and 2 with the latest DSL firmware from asus.com, without changing any of the nvram settings @six mentions?
I haven’t tried going back yet, I had a job for the RT-AC68U AiMesh node to do and it’s currently still doing it. I will be getting hold of another (real) RT-AC68U soon so will be able to experiment again if you want definitive proof of reversibility steps before trying it.
My prediction is the recovery flashing of DSL firmware will do the job on it’s own but at the very most I expect the only other thing you would need to do is the nvram set asuscfeodmpid=”DSL-AC68U” & nvram set asuscfecommit=1 commands via telnet.
