How can I move from HGGomes firmware to RMerlin?

[JFJF]

I used HGGomes firmware for a while (nice job) but would like to go back to RMerlin. Tried updating with RMerlin's current firmware and version 61 but no luck. Using current or older ASUS firmware won't work either.
Any ideas?

you have to go back to Merlin build .58 or older, this was stated in the Readme
then you can go to any build you would like

Why would you wanna do that?? U will lose the privilege to customize the power of it. Actually i am quite disappointed that Hggomes stoped his development. His firmware is the only firmware which actually improves range. It's just because of the Fcc regulation or for some unknown reason he planned to stop doing what he did.

Although FCC doesn't apply to me as i'm not in the U.S , every country has certain regulations to follow i believe , but im not bound by this strict regulations as i'm not in the U.S. I'll try to Pm Hggomes.
