Mine is already on its way back to Amazon. There's no way to downgrade back to 1842 anyway.What hardware and software versions are listed on the box or unit? Mine are H/W version C1 and firmware version 3.0.0.4.380_1842

On start I did an auto update to this 2892 version. That may have crippled things. Check your auto update function--but for heaven's sake don't update...

I have the same options available as mike_in_nyc. When I checked the stock firmware (which is 380_1842) it was up to date. I also have the option to upload a new firmware file.This is strange. My AC68A was delivered yesterday. I was able to install Merlin firmware with no problem. Today I reinstalled the stock firmware to make sure the unit was working properly as stock. Your firmware is different than mine. See attached picture. I also have more options under USB applications.
This is weird. My ac68a was delivered yesterday. Hook it up, did an auto update, and found out that under USB Applications there's no 3G/4G or Download master, and under FW upgrade there's no manual file selection, only auto update, so no Merlin either. I called ASUS and the guy checked their feature list and said these features aren't available on the 68A, and advised me to get a U. The router immediately goes back to Amazon. But how come you can install Merlin? Was the first auto update (to version 380_2892) that screwed up things for me?
nvram get rc_support
don't have the router anymore and don't think there's an option to enable telnetCould you enable SSH, and run the following command?
Code:nvram get rc_support
Post back what it returns. That's the list of features that are enabled in the firmware build.

I enabled SSH. How do I run the command? I'm kind of a noob at this. Thanks.

This is the return:

First of all the HW ver is c1
Download a free client like Putty or XShell5. Connect to your router's IP, using the username and password you created for the web interface. You will then get a command prompt, similar to a DOS box. Just copy paste the command and press enter.
That's a whole lot more services running than mine. O fate thou unfairThis is what was returned on my AC68A. Firmware is .1842 which was stock with the router.

Like I posted earlier it's 2859. So they ship different fw.What's is the firmware revision on the box? Mine never updated from the stock. I couldn't even find your firmware version on the Asus site.
The updated fw is 2895. It's all weird. Apparently there are two different FWs being distributed right now (maybe even HW), one fully functional and one crippled, and I'm the only one getting the crippleware...Oh. I thought you upgraded your firmware to 2859.
