QUOTE(sHawTY @ May 27 2018, 01:47 PM) No. Just dump it Yes Why do you worry about unlocking it? It's not like the AC68U you bought from Taobao has any warranty QUOTE(Alex9182 @ May 27 2018, 02:17 PM) I dont have Ori Asus AC68U but i have Ori TP-Link Archer C7 V4 to compare. before unlock, the signal strength is more or less similar to TP-Link, after unlock, it has more channel and signal strength increase 10dBm. worried will sudden dead for the WIFI chip ..😏😏Ya, why worry so much. for me, buying this refurbish unit is to play around with hardware and Firmware, try to learn as go along. if damaged just dump it. thanks... |

QUOTE(Alex9182 @ May 27 2018, 09:26 PM) 1. Download and install PuTTY on pc. really thanks for the guide ...2. Enable SSH at router. 3. Run PuTTY and login to router using your router IP, username and password. 4. At PuTTY, key in the code line by line (hit enter after each line). That is all. Try watch some youtube how to use PuTTY. easier. |
