Wiki says two step upgrade required?

[NilsFernquist]

Is this statement still correct? I cant find older firmwares anywhere?

• The RT-AC68U and RT-AC56U need to be at least on firmware 378.55 (or the last 378.xxx version from Asus) before you can flash 380.xx, due to the partition size change.

Where to find old AC68U/R Firmwares?

Welcome to the forum.

Yes that’s still correct. (The Wiki link is https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Installation for future reference.)

What’s your situation such that you want to verify this?

Do you need to find 378.55?

I see what you mean; however, if you go here:

then open Releases and the select your router model, I think you’ll find all you need, including 378.55.

But you said “The RT-AC68U and RT-AC56U need to be at least on firmware 378.55 (or the last 378.xxx version from Asus) before you can flash 380.xx, due to the partition size change.”

Have you got the RT-AC68U or the RT-AC86U?

If the latter, you wouldn’t need 378.55 by definition, and Merlin isn’t going to offer such an outdated firmware for a model which doesn’t not require the intermediate firmware in the 2-step process.

So which router do you have?
