Hi Sifu,
Currently my Asus RT AC68U using Merlin Firmware 3.0.0.4.378.50. I know very old firmware. Can I just update to the latest firmware or I need update to certain firmware first before update to the latest one? This post has been edited by KKW: Nov 19 2017, 12:24 PM |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Nov 19 2017, 12:24 PM) Should be able to update to the latest firmware. Make sure you factory reset or clear NVRAM after the update. I see. I read from here. It said You can just proceed to recovery if something wrong happened.  " Starting with Asus's 3.0.0.4.380_3000 and upward, a new firmware format is used. To flash Asuswrt-Merlin on one of these newer firmwares, you will need 380.61 or newer. Likewise, downgrading to an older version is not supported (try firmware recovery mode if you really need to downgrade) 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. " Just wanna double confirm before I proceed my update, I scare I brick it  |
