Did you try disconnecting power, connecting with WPS button pressed until led light starts blinking?
Yes I just tried, but it's not going in rescue mode .... thanks anyway
I just thought I'd share, because I have no idea what I did wrong or why this was such a tedious process. If anyone has any insight, I'd like to hear it so I am more confident in an upgrade in the future.
Yes I had enabled it but I used this command line,
As per your post - will you enable FA on the 68P in the future? It's currently disabled.
I ran via Telnet nvram get bl_version and it bootloader 1.0.1.4. Is this your current bootloader?
Thanks
Every time I login with this firmware it wants me to go through the setup wizard again...
RMerlin,
I can potentially help you with RT-N16. I currently have two of these devices in production and would like to see them having up-to-date code and in a security patched state. On my Ubuntu box, I have also managed to compile your source code from github and generate the TRX image (although I have not tried to use the TRX file that I generated). I have also started to contribute to entware in the last month or so since that project needed some help with security patches and a few other things (see entware issues on github).
What are the problems that you are running into with RT-N16 and how can I help out?
What router model?
Make sure you complete the whole QIS so it will properly configure all basic settings. Also try a different browser.
Here is were I found to enable turbo mode:

When I plug the router only the power led is steady on, after a minute I see all lan led flashing for a sec, then USB 2.0 led goes on for 2 sec, this keeps going on loop even after 2 hours.
I have an RT-AC87 Router directly connected to my modem and an RT-AC68 hard wired as an AP point.
Due to issues I've seen with temps on the AC87 I've turned off the wireless radio's for the time being and been using the AC68 as the only wireless router serving up wifi within my home.
I installed 378.50 on all my routers last night, did hard reset via reset button and WPS reset on each and manually configured all routers (was using the restore utility but evidently my usb stick got fried as I left it connected to the AC87 and when I went to get it last night it was super hot to the touch but that's another story, just clarifying EVERYTHING was setup manually).
I've NEVER seen issues like I'm seeing today. Any device physically connected to any router via a cable works WONDERFULLY and probably most important for time being here. I however noticed some lag today while on wifi and did some tests as included in the screenshot and wondered if someone could help me understand what's going on when from my understanding of what I see is that everything is set up correctly.
My noise is being reported as 100%, Signal quality as Extremely Poor, Signal to Noise is -68db on 2.4 and -80 on 5, Noise avg, min, max is 100%
There's no overlapping networks at least that I can see. My computer is downstairs and the AC68 is upstairs however they're relatively 20-30 feet apart and I've never seen stats like these. Also my computer is also hardwired so this computer isn't a concern, rather the speedtest screenshot was done on my iPhone 6 Plus on 5ghz that was approx 25 feet away on the same floor as the AC68 and I've never had an issue with speed or connectivity at that range (unless I had an issue that affected everything).
My Networks are the ASUS and ASUS_5G
Edit: Split the diagnostics into 2 screenshots.
Think it was a faulty USB thumb drive but out of curiosity has anyone had any experience with a drive getting super hot when plugged into the back of the 87R?
