I always do factory resets after upgrading to any release, but this time around I have seen people recommending clearing the nvram. How do I go about doing this?

i was under the impression that a factory reset clears the nvram. i understand you can manually clear nvram, but doesn't a factory reset clear it as well?
Hi Merlin, I've just upgraded my AC68U from 374.43_2 to 376.44
I've never installed any beta!
After the upgrade, I've lost my settings for the 5Ghz wlan. I was used to run these commands in order to have all the channels unlocked:
nvram set 0:ccode=#a
nvram set 1:ccode=#a
nvram set 0:regrev=0
nvram set 1:regrev=0
nvram set wl0_country_code=#a
nvram set wl0_country_rev=0
nvram set wl0_reg_mode=off
nvram set wl1_country_code=#a
nvram set wl1_country_rev=0
nvram set wl1_reg_mode=off
Has the option to unlock all the channel, been disabled with the latest firmware?
After installing the update (I was in stock) The router wont give me IP so i cant configure it. I literally cant do anything.
Any ideas?
Merlin , in this new version i cannot find the option to disable the access to the router via telnet .
The FCC operates in one country so why this nonsense of crippling the firmware for everyone? Thing is these routers are now $250. each and going up.
Starting with firmware versions 376_xxxx, Asus is locking down channel and power output to what`s in the bootloader, due to FCC requirements.

I have a RT-AC66U that I flashed from 374.43 to 376.44. The only issue I see is in the 5GHz settings. Setting the wireless mode to N+AC always causes the router to revert to channel 36, 40MHz channel width, even after clearing NVRAM and setting up from scratch. That never used to happen.
To get around it, I set the wireless mode to Auto, channel bandwidth to 80MHz and channel to 157, which seems to work OK - my recent MacBook Pro indicates a link speed of around 702 which is (more or less) where it was with the previous firmware.
RMerlin, thanks!
