Solved Asus RT-AC1900P from dd-wrt to merlin

[Budske]

Hi, I just got a RT-AC1900P and first thing i did was install dd-wrt.... it worked perfectly, but then i found merlin and I wanted to change the firmware.

I tried using the firmware restoration tool to flash 378.55 but got a bootloop, i've been trying everything.

used CFE to flash dd-wrt back again and then tried using the firmware update to 378.55 and nothing, then tried again, but changed from trx to bin. still stuck, I even tried flashing stock asus with the fw restoration tool and nothing.

power light is on and ethernet 1 flashing.

if i set the ip to 192.168.1.5 the CFE loads up and i can restore default nvram values. If i flash DD-wrt it loads and i can get it back to work.

please help, i've read like 4 or 5 threads related to the 68U and non of the solutions there works

Solved - asus rt-ac68u (c1) won't flash to merlin firmware or asus stock firmware

is there anyone who can help me. I have an (old) asus rt-ac68u c1 with DD-WRT firmware (v3.0-r43718). I would like to upgrade this to merlin firmware. Only the router does not accept any firmware other than dd-wrt? I am getting the message through both GUI and firmware restoration flashing...

Restoration tool or the "ASUSTek - CFE miniWebServer".

..., now do i need to update to 378.55 and then latest?

Yes I believe so.

 

[Budske]

Yes I believe so.

i was able to get that 27E5 installed, but it keep asking me for the password like every 5 seconds and when i try updating it it just stays at processing for ever

Do a factory reset (via button) then try again. Close and re-open your browser also.

Don't use Safari browser....

soooooo..... i finally fixed it.

I went in to asus website and downloaded the oldest FW (843), flashed it using FW restoration tool, then i reseted the router, then used asuswrt to update to latest merlin and reseted it again.

thanks for the help
