I know nothing about the DSL-AC68U, but if you only want to flash RT-AC68U firmware and use it as a repeater, did you try changing the model id in the CFE?@BradsterACT - Could you tell me which firmware version you are using to get Aimesh working on your DSL-AC68U? Ive tried everything down to rebuilding the RT-AC68U firmware to make the DSL-AC68U think its an RT (I use a fibre modem nowadays so no need for DSL), but I've never managed to get my DSL successfully linked as an Aimesh node (by my RT-AC88U which is an Aimesh router). I dont think I've attempted using the DSL as the Aimesh router though, and I've seen elsewhere that an official aimesh release for the DSL is meant to be imminent, but Id still be very interested to know what you are running on yours to get it working as an Aimesh router.

Main: rt-68u
Node1: rt-68r
Node2: rt-1900
Test 1: Main on 1718, Nodes on 20942 … More reliable AiMesh. No random disconnects which I had seen on my all 20942 system.
Test 2: All on 1718... Even more reliable AiMesh. Stronger 5g signal seen, signal was tested at both nodes.
Good work.
Just in this thread first posting link under firmware: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/b...r-rt-ac68u-and-first-beta-for-bluecave.46802/I se you have tested Test 2: All on 1718 where can i find link to this firmware?
Same question.Any chance of guest accounts being available on Nodes in the next beta release?

Release note:
- Support Ethernet onboarding (the mesh node search will find Ethernet nodes)
- The wireless schedule could be synchronized of all nodes.
- Support smart-connect rules on nodes. (both dual-band and tri-band) (RT-AC68U series have no smart connect)
- Synchronizing wireless professional settings to nodes.
- Synchronizing schedule reboot to all nodes.
- Synchronizing WPS settings to all nodes. (only enable and disable, this action will not sync trigger).
- Synchronizing region selection to all nodes. (Be noted: this function ONLY works under all nodes were bought in the same region, manual change won't help)
- Now you can use Gmail to do feedback.
***I know you guys will ask for other models,will have, but let's focus on RT-AC68U first.
*** Also, this beta is for 68U, we suggest do not mix model for this first beta. (but if you want to try, just go ahead.)

correct only 1716.There are references to ver .1718 but all links are for ver .1716. Was the 1718 a mistype?
correct only 1716.
Maybe you have not noticed, but the topic only applies to RT-AC68U and BlueCave.Trying again with 3 ac86u, very stable and with a HUUUUUUUUUUGE signal around the house
