Is there a way to install the RT n66u firmware through via. telent? If so, what are the exact steps to do so?

Not recommended for beginners, but if you must know:

First, copy the firmware to /tmp. Then, run the following commands (adjusting the firmware filename as needed):

mtd-write -i /tmp/RT-N66U_3.0.0.3_108.trx -d linux
reboot

I got "-sh: mtd-write: not found" any idea? (with Asuswrt-Merlin firmware)

then I tried "/sbin/mtd-write2 -i /tmp/RT-AC56U_3.0.0.4_374.38_2.trx -d linux && reboot" I got "-i: File is too small (0 bytes)"


thanks!

Try putting the commands one at a time?
 
ARM routers have a different command, with a different syntax.

Code:
mtd-write2 /mnt/sda1/file.trx linux && reboot
 
i use tftp to upload the firmware. I use mac and there is no firmware restoration utility for mac (how stupid). here are the commands
tftp
connect
10.200.1.1 (router ip)
binary
put "firmware file"
- when you see the success message -
quit
wait for couple of minutes
