Hello, first time user of Merlin,
ASUS RT-N66U H/W Ver B1
running RT-AC66U_380.65_4 OK
Noted download site says to use 66U for B1 however the hardware disagree's and wont take it
Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs and SSH ETC, reboot
Formatted USB 2.0 device EXT 2. Tried 3 of such devices and tried EXT 3.
Used GPARTED Live, Merlin command line its self, https://www.partitionwizard.com/ which is the easiest.
Run
Downloads and executes sh ab-solution.sh
Choose your colour theme, 1
This is the problem I have, its like its ignoring the USB. The USB has a red light so i can see when its being operated, it stays steady on so no activity on the USB.

Says "- /jffs/ needs a reboot" Press 1 to continue, a reboot happens but i am in a loop now. Cant get it to work. Interestingly if i take the USB device out router it makes no difference. The installer does not seem to want to install to the USB, what i am missing? i have googled the heck out of this and no joy!
Can anyone help please I am missing something?

performing a basic check of your router's settings
Check not passed!
changes were made that require the router to reboot.
These are necessary for AB-Solution to work afterwards.
You have to enter the curl install command again
to continue with the install after reboot due to the
temporary volatile storage location.
