[Deleted member 22229]

Just got my hands on another AC68R and forgot what Merlin build updates the boot loader anyone remember or is it all of the latest ones ?

Thanks John. Actually i plan on running your latest code on the 68R but was going to update the boot loader first then flash your build. Is there any reason it even needs to be upgraded or can i just pass and flash right to your firmware? The 68R is bran new with a build date of 2015.

In that case it's probably already updated (1.0.2.0 or above).....check via telnet/ssh
nvram get bl_version

But, if all you plan on is my fork, there's really no need to update.

Thanks turns out is was already updated from the factory to 1.0.2.0. Up and running on V-14 working great.

May I ask have you gotten rid of the R7000?

Sort of although the 7000 has great hardware and it did work excellent Netgear is slow with firmware releases and they have a IPv6 issue they simply refuse to fix or even address. My sister just got comcast and needed a good router so the 7000 is now hooked up at her house and i picked up another AC68R.
