This page is currently under construction. You can edit the article to help completing it. This is a dual band 802.11ac AC1200 fast ethernet wireless router. There are four non-detachable antennas and a USB2 port. Any text with a light background (like this one) provides instructions for creating the Details Page. When you have filled in correct/useful information (instead of any template that's there) remove the instructions, as well as the <WRAP> that encloses it. Getting started with a new Device Page This is an empty template that suggests the information that should be present on a well-constructed Device Page. This means, that you have to fill it with life and information. There are several “fixme” tags with text on a light background (like this text) throughout this template. As you fill in the page, remove those tags so that people can judge its completeness. When there are no more “fixme” tags left, delete this one too, along with the <WRAP> that encloses it. Keep the articles modular Please include only model specific information, omit bla,bla and put everything generic into separate articles If you have no time to write certain stuff, link to docs base-system should lead the way, do not explain this again DO NOT provide a complete howto here! Instead groom the general documentation.

Flash Layout Find out flash layout, then add the flash layout table here (copy, paste, modify the example). Please check out the article Flash layout. It contains examples and explanations that describe how to document the flash layout. OEM installation using Asus Recovery firmware tool Download the Asus recovery firmware (windows) tool from http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LiveUpdate/Release/Wireless/Rescue.zip Set your ethernet IP manually 192.168.1.5 / 255.255.255.0 with NO gateway. Plug in your ethernet to LAN port 1 on the router. Load up the recovery software with the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin firmware file, but don't press “Upload” yet. Plug in the router to power WHILE HOLDING the reset button in. While CONTINUING to hold the button, select “Upload”. Continue to hold the Reset button in until it finishes and verifies! If that doesn't work try pressing “Upload” first just before you do step 5. At some point while holding reset the rescue tool will finally detect and upload the firmware. That's when you can let go of the Reset button. The router will reboot and not much will happen. Wait a minute or two. Power off and on the router again. Voila. Set everything your Ethernet IP back to DHCP (automatically) and you're good to go. OEM installation using the TFTP method → generic.flashing.tftp Specific values needed for tftp Enter values for “FILL-IN” below Bootloader tftp server IPv4 address FILL-IN Bootloader MAC address (special) FILL-IN Firmware tftp image Latest OpenWrt release (NOTE: Name must contain “tftp”) TFTP transfer window FILL-IN seconds TFTP window start approximately FILL-IN seconds after power on TFTP client required IP address FILL-IN Upgrading OpenWrt → generic.sysupgrade These are generic instructions. Update with your router's specifics. LuCI Web Upgrade Process Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI Wait for reboot Terminal Upgrade Process If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line. There are two command line methods for upgrading: sysupgrade mtd Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing. sysupgrade Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands: cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc sysupgrade /tmp/xxx.abc mtd If sysupgrade does not support this router, use mtd. Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands: cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc mtd write /tmp/xxx.abc linux && reboot Debricking Use the Asus Firmware recovery tool to install the Asus stock firmware image for the RT-AC1200. Instructions for how to use the Asus firmware recovery tool are described earlier in this wiki page.
