    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    I am in Australia, everything is more expansive here. We never have RT-AC1900P here. The lowest normal 1Ghz RT-AC68U I can find is AUD$170. BTW, Just found out that ever since Amazon.com.au was setup, we can no longer buying from Amazon.com. For this reason, the TM AC1900 option might be off...

    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    Another thought, my mistake was putting a CFE modified from cfeditor.feng.si. According to the website's comments, the resulting CFE works with TM-AC1900. I could do the following to debrick my original RT-AC68U using a TM-AC1900. 1. Buy a TM-AC1900. 2. Desolder the flash chips from both...

    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    Incircut flash programming clip does not require to desolder the NAND chip. Its a good debricking tool, but the cost is the same as an RT-AC68U. This might be similar to the commissioning tool used by Asus.

    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    Broadcom has very limited documentation on its chips. Unlike TI, which very open about its chips. There is a bank of resistors for the TI chip I worked with to select the chip to boot from TFTP, EMMC or USB.

    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    Thanks for the heads up. I will do more research on that. Back on the AC68U, I am wondering other SoC like the TI ones can boot from USB, is it possible for the BCM4708A0 boot from USB? That would be great for de-bricking.

    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    AC88U is just 30% more, AX88U is double in price.

    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    Now I bricked a perfectly good router, I might upgrade to a newer one, but prefer to stay in Merlin. Is the AC86U a good alternative since it has a dual core 1.8GHz instead of 1.4Ghz for the AC88U?

    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    I have flashed my AC68U to advanceTomato, back to Merlin. Decided to stick to Merlin. I did not know different revision of hardware are not just minor hardware changes. That resulted in total bricking of my router. I don't know what I don't know.

    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    Thanks for the reply. May I know how to determine if the CFE is valid? Isn't all CFE is interchangeable for all RT-AC68U?

    Bricked RT-AC68U when downgrading CFE

    Hi, I was trying to downgrade the CFE for overclocking, because CFE 1.1.1.2 does not allow overclocking. The original firmware were: CFE 1.1.1.2 Firmware: RT-AC68U_384.13_0 Hardware: REV E1 board rev 1.90 After backing up the original CFE and obtained the modified CFE, I flashed the 1.0.2.0...

    Qnap Tvs-471Processor Upgrade

    https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=102210&start=255 I upgraded my tvs-671 to have 16GB ram and i7-4790s. It runs smoothly without overheating. I admit that the x71 series is not as easy as the x82 or any later series for CPU upgrade. Took me almost an hour to get it done with all the...

    Internal OpenVPN server route problem

    Hi Guys I have a small problem on my AC68U running Merlin 384.7_2, running behind another router. - The Internet router is given by the ISP with VDSL, address 192.168.20.1 - AC68U is in router mode with address 192.168.20.2, but the WAN port is not connected with DHCP server disabled. All...

    Scheduled QoS settings or bandwidth limit

    Thanks for the help. With all these rules, schedule, settings, it would be hard to find another router to replace it. We will have to stay with Asus or get a commercial router.

    Scheduled QoS settings or bandwidth limit

    Thanks for the help. Found a variable of interest qos_rulelist=<Web Surf>>80>tcp>0~512>0 <HTTPS>>443>tcp>0~512>0 <File Transfer>>80>tcp>512~>2 <File Transfer>>443>tcp>512~>2 .... I just have to save the full qos_rulelist and apply different one on a schedule. Side questions: Setting NVRAM...

    Scheduled QoS settings or bandwidth limit

    Is there a way to schedule QoS rules / bandwidth limit? A simple way is: adjust priority according to time. A more general way is to apply different rules at a different time. Similarly, different bandwidth limit on certain IP/MAC address set under different time. Do I have to create a script...
