Making overclocking persistent

[Kingp1n]

I tested change with recent firmware, wont help to use older ones.
You can factory reset the router with "initialize" to set all back and configure by hand.

How do you see anything in GUI? I is all done in SSH-session.

What are the outputs of the commands? Must be: success

I resetted router by using the initialize option. Set up router and inputted command as you posted on post 16 ...using 1200/800. Once router reboots and I run the below command:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l)
processor : 0
BogoMIPS : 1998.84

processor : 1
BogoMIPS : 1998.84

These are the default settings and not the overclock settings. I read somewhere some folks had to switch to another FW i.e. tomato, ddwrt to get overclocking to stick. I don't think I want to go thru all the trouble for this.

maybe related to some HW revisions or cfe-bootloader and you got bad luck.
But you could load Johns fork and try again (use asus restauration tool).
post the output of the 2 lines, maybe I see something different or wrong with them.
Never heard that someone got a problem with it.

Same experience... Bogomips never changes anymore Stuck with my stock 800 mhz ac68u.

Unless you're doing heavy VPN things, the 800 MHz AC68U should be fine. I used to have this spec router with a 200 Mb connection, serving many devices and a lot of online gaming and it could handle it.

correct, but if you use VPN you will see a linear speed up by increasing clock, so there is a huge difference in using 800 or 1200MHz, its 50% faster maybe from 40 to 60Mb/s.
