Restore stock firmware?

[wizzard]

I am using Asuswrt-Merlin firmware. Is it possible to go back to stock Asus firmware?

Sure. Over flash the Merlin with Asus, do a hard factory reset and configure manually.

Have not really made changes to the Asus router. Can I not do a factory reset?

You need to factory reset and configure without using any backups.

The links in this post explain the reset:

Beta - ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0 (continued)

I know how to do it @ForkWNY everyone seems to be missing the point Not sure if it's different per router type (in my case, GT-AC5300)...to reset a node, login to the web UI. Head to AiMesh > Click on Node to reset > Select "Management" > Remove Node. This effectively seems to pull the node...

There are settings in Merlin that do not carry over to stock firmware. Always best to do a hard factory reset when changing firmware. See: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1039074/
Choose the procedure for your router.
