DDR Configuration Upgrade Tool - General Question

[evh909]

Saw this tool in the downloads section and it is supposed to "upgrade the RT-AC68U DDR clock rate from 533MHz to 666MHz". I have a RT-AC68W and when I run the following command to check the memory clock I see the following:

admin@(none):/usr/sbin# nvram get clkfreq
1000,800

It appears that I am already running a memory clock @800MHz (so wont be using the tool), but is this something that is normal? I am assuming that I have the 4709 processor (1GHz) which has DDR3-1600 memory, so is the 800 derived from 1600 / 2 ?

The tool was only required for the early versions of the firmware on the RT-AC68U/R.
You have an RT-AC68P (aka RT-AC68Uv2) in white (i presume) so the tool does not apply to that hardware.

That is correct.
