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…

I just stumbled on to this thread and wondered if you can help me. I rather stupidly upgraded my DSL-AC68U firmware with Merlin RT-AC68U firmware by misteak.

The DSL part of the router now doesn’t work and the DSL light does not come on and shows “cable unplugged” in the main router page. The firmware page also shows not DSL firmware (see picture).

The first thing I did was go on the Asus site and reload the most recent firmware but this has not got the DSL part working again.

I’ve tried everything and spent days trying to get it working.

I’ve upgraded the firmware over the Asus recovery tool, Miniweb server and manually over the routers firmware upload page. All without success. I followed the Asus advice about uploading the firmware twice – still no joy.

Has anyone else stuffed up their DSL-AC68U like this and how did they get it working again.
