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…

Hi Guys,
I have a similar problem to what booji had although i’m not sure what issue I had first or unless one caused the other.
My DSL-AC68U is also not showing any firmware details in the DSL section.
and when I try to go through the quick setup it doesnt recongnise the line.
I had two issues that occured very close to one another – I flashed the firmware to Gnuton’s merlin DSL firmware, and at the same time when I was trying to reset it it started to smoke.
I have since tried leaving it on for long periods of time and it now doesnt smoke, but it also did flip onto laying onto the front (before it smoked – not sure if related).
Anyway it now shows the blue lights on interface 1,2 & 3 or just 1 and 2 constantly and as said doesnt recognise the RJ11 in the DSL port.
I will try some of the things mentioned above when I get home tonight or tomorrow.

Many Thanks
