Hi all,
I've been running Merlin for a few years now without problem and have updated the firmware several times. However, the last few times I've tried to update I get the "unsuccessful" message.
My last successful update was about a year ago with RT-AX86U_3004_388.5_0. Since then I've tried RT-AX68U_3004_388.7_0, RT-AX68U_3004_388.8_2 and recently RT-AX68U_3004_388.8_4.
I have YazFi install and I'm wondering if that might have something to do with the failure. Can't recall when I installed it but I'm pretty sure I've done updates with YazFi installed in the past.

Any ideas why the updates would stop working?
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

Make sure the firmware file you are trying to load is for your model. RT-AX86U and RT-AX68U are different model routers.
