Follow the ASUS instructions for upgrading firmware on page 83 of the User Manual...
4.7.3 Firmware Upgrade NOTE: Download the latest firmware from the ASUS website at http://www.asus.com (substitute LEDE firmware download)
To upgrade the firmware:
From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings >
Administration > Firmware Upgrade tab.
In the New Firmware File field, click Browse to locate the
downloaded file.
Click Upload.
NOTES:
• When the upgrade process is complete, wait for some time for the
system to reboot.
• If the upgrade process fails, the wireless router automatically enters
rescue mode and the power LED indicator on the front panel starts
flashing slowly. To recover or restore the system, refer to section 5.2
Firmware Restoration.
thanks guys, however it wont let me install the image
any suggestions?
i am currently running the latest version of AsusWRT: FW_RT_AC56U_30043807743
i get the following message:
Invalid Firmware Upload
To comply with regulatory amendments, we have modified our certification rule to ensure better firmware quality. This version is not compatible with all previously released ASUS firmware and uncertified third party firmware. Please check our official websites for the certified firmware.
not sure why i wasn't able to flash to LEDE from latest AsusWRT, however i was able to successfully flash to ddwrt build 33555 via webgui without any issues. after which i was able to successfully flash to LEDE via webgui as well.
thanks!
another question, since i don't use IPv6, would it be safe to remove the following packages (are there more, less, etc.?) related to IPv6, or are they related to other packages and/or cause any sort of issues?
ip6tables
kmod-ip6tables
kmod-nf-conntrack6
kmod-nf-ipt6
libip6tc
luci-proto-ipv6
odhcp6c
similarly, i don't use the router as my DNS server or DHCP server, so could i also remove these, or are they needed for other packages/services running, or "client" dns (router itself trying to do a dns lookup?), etc.?
dnsmasq
odhcpd
lastly, i also don't plan on using PPPOE at all either:
Still cautious, and have only slowly been turning things off.
As for the various packages themselves, i'm still not sure exactly which one(s) i can remove without issue and possible adverse affects, as this is my main router.
so i disabled the pppoe stuff on both this router and another (used as AP), but found when "testing" on my AP, that certain packages are linked together. for example if i recall correctly, removing "ip6tables" also removes the non ipv6 tables as well. which for the AP is fine, but not for this upstream router.
i did however disable ipv6 more "globally" via "sysctl", but noticed that during a reboot/startup of the device, that certain packages run/start after the sysctl modifications are applied, and therefore it is still running.
as such i tried to utilize the luci gui startup script section (since it runs after startup essentially) to re-apply my sysctl config (sysctl -p ; as the file itself keeps the changes), but i'm not sure on the syntax here as it doesn't seem to be working:
# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
sysctl -p
exit 0
any suggestions on being able to re-apply my "sysctl" settings?
