Put DSL-AC68U into recovery mode and flashed with RMerlin (RT-AC68U) firmware and run the following telnet (ssh)commands
nvram set odmpid=”RT-AC68U”
nvram set asuscfeodmpid=”RT-AC68U”
nvram set asuscfecommit=1
nvram commit
factory reset router and it still thinks it is an ASUSWRT-Merlin (RMerlin) router.
Then put DSL-AC68U into recovery mode, flashed back to DSL-AC68U firmware and factory reset.
Router correctly reports all DSL functionality and DSL options which was not available when DSL-AC68U was flashed with RMerlin firmware ;-)
Hopefully the link to the firmware I supplied in earlier post will assist @booji
