Asus firmware will change the 5Ghz mac address for you if you specify same mac address in your cfe. that's why .....29BA, not the correct ....29BC.

Ok, I’ll try input this
Is there like naming rule for last digit?
And if i mess up the last digit it could brick the router?

Noted, so i shouldn’t rely on the wifi app?
Better to just check mac in the router settings or refer to sticker mac address

The rule is follow your router's sticker but plus 4 numbers.
Convert the HEX number to decimal and then +4. Then convert back to hex number.

Yours is B8 is hex number. Convert to decimal is 184. Now we add 4 and it becomes 188. Convert 188 back to hex and it becomes BC.

0:macaddr change to x.x.x:29:B8 (Follow router sticker)
et0macaddr change to x.x.x:29:B8 (Follow router sticker)
1:macaddr change to x.x.x:29:BC (Convert to Decimal, +4, convert back to Hex)

Thanks, now all can pair with aimesh wirelessly with no issues
Ended up buying a few more, our sg neighbors sure are selling them cheap
4g usb modem seems to work better as WAN compared to using it on ws880 (assuwrt)
I do wonder how long we can continue getting OTA updates? Is it as long as long as asus continuously support the router model firmware we're using?

Where are you buying yours from? Are you from Johor? I actually have 1 extra unit to let go. Still under D-Link warranty.


Since AC66U_B1 and AC68U using same firmware, as long as they keep supporting AC68U, we should be fine. Asus Merlin will also keep supporting as long as Asus supports.

Yes, at jb, i think i have enough units now
Still does dlink still cover warranty with the router already flashed to 3rd party firmware?
Never really bothered with warranty before since i just replace them 😅

Just like Malaysia gov now, anything can U-Turn. Can try U-Turn back to Dlink firmware.

Hey guys, just wondering if there’s a way to run duckdns on asus stock firmware?
Been using asus wrt for so long before this i forgot it’s not included in stock firmware

Hi guys, I have decided to let go 1 of my DIR-868L.

It is still under D-Link Malaysia warranty. Fully converted to Asus firmware with 2.4g WiFi fix and MAXIMUM 5g and 2.4g signal strength.

If anyone is interested, please PM me. Thank you!

Once the router is flashed with ac68u firmware for example
Can we flash asuswrt merlin on top of that?

Yes it's interchangeable. AC66U_B1 and AC68U uses the same firmware. Both ASUSWRT and ASUSMerlin also can.

Thanks for the confirmation, just wanna avoid bricked unit

anyone can reshare the file to fix the 2.4ghz?

the file in google drive is dead...

I just tried. The link is still working.

1) Download attached file. CFE_868L_2.4Gfix_68u.bin and mtd-write and CFEEdit

Go to the original post #98. Don't use the one from other people's quote.
