nvram get boardtype
nvram get clkfreq
Don't. As far as I can tell your router has the 4709c0 CPU. If you flash an older CFE that isn't compatible with that processor you're probably screwed. It's not worth the risk for the minimal benefit overclocking might have IMHO.I'm contemplating trying to flash an older version of the CFE, just not sure what the chances of me bricking it are if i try that...
@ironclad has posted great info on safely OC'ing some RT-AC68U's. It includes a warning about setting the overclock in cfe. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/r...13-is-now-available.57860/page-21#post-510501To overclock your 68U to 1200,800. This has been posted and verified many times. Works on ASUS and Merlin firmware.
Code:nvram set asuscfeclkfreq=1200,800 && nvram set asuscfecommit=1 nvram set clkfreq=1200,800 && nvram commit && reboot
I also tried the 2 commands that @ColinTaylor suggested and got:board type- 0x0646
clkfreq- 1000,666
@Yota says that the newer 68U's have a newer CFE and CPU which will not allow OC'ing.Is overclocking possible on AC68U hardware v3? Tried it but bogo mips goes to 100Mhz after OCing to 1200 and I had to revert to stock 1000Mhz.
