    Can I remove OEM plugin and ensure a clean system?

    Well, I currently live in China. I bought it from an online retailer. It is local in the sense that I place the order online and pick it up at a local location in a few hours. I did not want to complicate background of the first post so I did not include the details.

    Can I remove OEM plugin and ensure a clean system?

    Thanks so much for digging this out! It does scare me... To summarize, the official firmware downloads some binary from a third-party provider, and they even explicitly add --no-check-certificate.

    Can I remove OEM plugin and ensure a clean system?

    I did not try to hide the entry. I just found out that the reason is that the http server somehow reads the location code in the firmware and displays this menu entry. It does not seem to do much harm since everyone is using the same firmware.

    Can I remove OEM plugin and ensure a clean system?

    Thank you all for these replies! Yes I bought the router from a Chinese online retailer. I am wondering how this is done technically. The menu entry can be removed by deleting the corresponding lines in /www/require/modules/menuTree.js . My modification persists after reboot. However, if I...

    Can I remove OEM plugin and ensure a clean system?

    Hi, Thanks for this awesome project! I just got my RT-AC86U from a local retailer today and have successfully flashed Asuswrt-Merlin. However, I found that an OEM plugin seems to be there: It translates as "Netease UU Accelerator", and does not go away after a hard reset (using Method 2)...
