Unable to manual upload file for firmware upgrade

[guest123tk]

This works for me in Firefox.

1. Browse to the firmware update page.
2. Open a Web Console with Ctrl-Shift-K.
3. At the >> prompt, type open_AiMesh_router_fw_upgrade();

That should invoke the firmware upgrade function and open a file browser so you can select the firmware file.

I got this error when I tried the firefox console.

Uncaught TypeError: document.form.file is undefined
open_AiMesh_router_fw_upgrade http://www.asusrouter.com/Advanced_FirmwareUpgrade_Content.asp:1547
<anonymous> debugger eval code:1

Thanks for the tips and advices here.

I have upgraded the firmware to Merlin latest using SCP and ssh command successfully. However, the browse file and upload buttons are still missing. I have soft and hard reset after upgrading the firmware via SCP but the missing issues still there. Nevertheless, I can use this SCP method for future manual upgrading (GUI update not possible) purpose although no buttons are available.

Thanks again for the tips and advises here. Meanwhile, I will stop tweaking for the moment unless there is a different approach or method available.

Cheers!

Normally looks like this and when clicked opens a pop up window to select the firmware file.

I did this with Firefox.
Go to the firmware update page then press "Alt" on keyboard then at the top of the browser select "View" > "page style" > "no style"
Now scroll toward the bottom of the update page and you should see an extra button before the "upload" button named "browse" which when clicked opens a pop up window for you to select a file for the update.

After you have the file selected and it is showing in the window next to "browse" go back to view > page style and change it back to basic page style then update should start.

This Fix absolutely WORKS! I just used it to finally update my router from 3.88.2_2 to 388.5

Thank you KevTech!
