I just finished upgrading my RT-AX88U from 384.19 to 386.1. First I did a dirty upgrade, but the router never came back up after the upgrade process claimed success and requested a manual restart. I did a hardware reset and the device came up. I went through my documented steps to manually...

I'm having the same problem. Ever since I moved from AC87U to AX88U, I no longer get that exclamation point. Additionally, I have an update-notification script in jffs/scripts that no longer works (probably because the scheduled update check isn't running). In Administration->Firmware...

Hi - I'm in the same boat as OP, and didn't want to start a new thread for roughly the same question. Only difference is that I have the AC87U (which is also now on "limited support" for Merlin). I have no problems right now with the AC87U - it meets my needs well. I have it all the way on...

To answer all of the questions in no particular order: 1) Why not get a printer with ethernet? Because the printers I've seen with actual ethernet are a bit pricier than the $95 USD I can get the printer in question for on Amazon. 2) Why not use the wifi on the printer in question? Because...

When I first moved to ASUSWRT Merlin a few years ago (from Tomato), I struggled a bit to get my LaserJet 1020 working (see here for details: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/laserjet-1020-on-rt-ac87u.19983/). I've been dealing with the inconvenience of manually loading the printer firmware each...

I've been managing with this printer pretty well over the last week or so, as I've been home every time my wife has had to print so I just turn on the printer and load the firmware manually from my computer via SSH: ssh [email protected] "cat /jffs/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0" After doing...

I'm struggling even to get my wife's Windows machine to print normally using the method you just recommended. I hooked the printer up to her machine directly via USB, and once the driver installed, it printed perfectly (with the firmware getting uploaded when the print job is sent). But then...

I had my first real-world test, and unfortunately things didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped. My wife wanted to print something from her Windows laptop, and unfortunately it didn't print even though I hadn't turned off the printer since I successfully printed a few pages a couple of days ago...

Wow - thank you very much for trying. Much appreciated even if it didn't end up working. The fact that, using Windows, you can get it to work makes me think that if I actually install the full driver executable from HP on to my wife's laptop (previously I had just used the generic 1020...

That is very interesting. It looks like the 1018 also requires its firmware to be loaded each time it is turned on before printing is possible. I'm curious with your setup where the firmware is coming from? I'm guessing your PC, even though the printer isn't connected directly to it? Are you...

Yep, script looks good. Thank you very much.

Thanks a ton - it was definitely worth a try, and I really appreciate the effort. I just read in another thread that someone had problems with a script because they used an editor on their computer and then copied it to the router, and they fixed it by creating the script with the built-in vi...

Unfortunately, that did not work. Didn't break anything, so the router gods don't hate me, but the firmware does not load after turning the printer on after running through the outlined steps and rebooting the router. I've manually loaded the firmware and the printer works without a problem...

Thanks for this. I knew I should have "worked from home" today. I will try this when I get home. I've always treated my routers with kindness and respect, so hopefully the router gods will take that in to consideration when processing my request!

I just saw this post in a different thread - so at least in May of 2103 this may not have been possible: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?p=70718#post70718 Simply connecting to the router via SSH and running that command loads the firmware, so I can always do that as an...
