Here's a small update - the converted RT-AC56U works great as an AI Mesh node. I get about 300Mbps wifi 5 speeds with it (compared to 500+Mbps when using an RT-AX52), but it's great for coverage.

Thank you @Special and the other contributors for your instructions! I have retired my RT-56U from router duty, and replaced it with a RT-AX58U. Instead of living in a drawer, the RT-56U will become a mesh node to extend the wifi coverage at my in-laws. So, here are the steps I did, for future...

Thank you! I was not aware of that! I'll do some reading, then!

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I was in exactly the same situation. I bought a new RT-AX58U v2 (which is not supported by RMerlin), and I had the need to inject some custom routes for a VPN in DHCP. This was previously done on RMelin firmware with a /jffs/scritps/dnsmasq.postconf script...

Ok, I ran the cleanup script and it freed about 5000 bytes from nvram, which I guess it's plenty :) Rebooted and vpn is working fine. Thanks again for the assistence!

Thank you!

Thank you both for the suggestion. However, since I'm running an old version 384.5 and my router is no longer supported - I'm not sure whether deleting those entries from nvram is safe (the fix was proposed in a 384.10 post). Any ideas when the certificates were moved out of the nvram? Edit: It...

I was playing with my RT-AC56U running RMerlin 384.5 and I noticed by accident that the nvram usage is a bit high: NVRAM usage: 65545 / 65536 bytes It seems I am 9 bytes over the limit and yet the router *appears* to be running fine. I do use long wifi passwords, have 30+ static dhcp bindings...

... must be something wrong with my setup/environment because kernel make fails/make modules as well: CC [M] drivers/usb/core/notify.o CC [M] drivers/usb/core/generic.o CC [M] drivers/usb/core/quirks.o CC [M] drivers/usb/core/devices.o CC [M] drivers/usb/core/hcd-pci.o CC [M]...

Ok, so I followed the guide above in a Ubuntu 12.04 lxc, combined with info from https://hqt.ro/how-to-compile-modules-for-asuswrt-routers/. I went to /home/ubuntu/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-6.x.4708/linux/linux-2.6 and ran 'make menuconfig', selected CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CP210X=m followed by...

I'm going to give this a try: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Compile-Firmware-from-source-using-Ubuntu I'll probably try to spin up a 14.04 lxc container for the job...

Hello all! I was planning to use my RT-AC56U as a serial debug bridge for an Odroid board which is close by. I hooked up a USB cp210x adapter into its USB port, but it seems that support for it was not included in the kernel: $ lsusb Bus 003 Device 116: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products...

Thanks, this explains it: admin@arcturus:/tmp/home/root# cat /etc/iproute2/rt_tables 100 wan0 111 ovpnc1 112 ovpnc2 113 ovpnc3 114 ovpnc4 115 ovpnc5 200 wan1 admin@arcturus:/tmp/home/root# ip route show table 111 10.0.0.1 dev ppp0 scope link 172.20.20.13 dev tun11 scope link src 172.20.20.14...

Thanks. The option is called "Redirect internet traffic" and I set it to policy (it was off). I added the static route and now ping works, but the routing table doesn't show the route: admin@arcturus:/tmp/home/root# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask...
