ASUS RT-AC1200 v2
Identical to RT-AC750N. Much of the hardware is largely similar to v1.
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.
Supported Versions
- The tables below are automatically generated, once the correct filters for Brand and Model are set.
- If the tables below show information for
ASUS RT-AC1200 v2
, everything is OK and you can delete this text and the<WRAP>
that encloses it. - If the tables below contain “Nothing found”, it means that either
- the dataentry page for ASUS RT-AC1200 v2 is missing. Please create a new dataentry page first, then reload this page. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the
<WRAP>
that encloses it. - filters are not set correctly. Most common reason for “Nothing found”: The dataentry does not contain a Version, but we are filtering here for version → Please edit this section and adjust the filters with the proper Brand, Model and Version. In case the dataentry does not contain a version, delete the line
filter : Versions~
. Just try, it's easy. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the<WRAP>
that encloses it.
- If the tables still contain “Nothing found”: Don't panic, calm down, take a deep breath and contact a wiki admin (tmomas) for help.

Installation
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 192.168.1.75 / 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
To enter TFTP mode, follow the reset directions for the Asus Recovery firmware method, then use the following information to flash it:
Specific values needed for tftp
Bootloader tftp server IPv4 address | 192.168.1.1 |
---|---|
Bootloader MAC address (special) | 00:00:AA:BB:CC:DD |
Firmware tftp image | Latest OpenWrt release (NOTE: Filename 'FW.BIN' is verified to work |
TFTP transfer window | approximately 15 seconds |
TFTP window start | approximately 5 seconds after power on |
TFTP client required IP address | 192.168.1.75 |
Upgrading OpenWrt
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
Failsafe mode
Basic configuration
→ Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.

Network interfaces
The default network configuration is:
Interface Name | Description | Default configuration |
---|---|---|
br-lan | EXAMPLE LAN & WiFi | EXAMPLE 192.168.1.1/24 |
vlan0 (eth0.0) | EXAMPLE LAN ports (1 to 4) | EXAMPLE None |
vlan1 (eth0.1) | EXAMPLE WAN port | EXAMPLE DHCP |
wl0 | EXAMPLE WiFi | EXAMPLE Disabled |
Switch Ports (for VLANs)
Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs
Numbers 0-3 are Ports 1-4 as labeled on the unit, number 4 is the Internet (WAN) on the unit, 5 is the internal connection to the router itself. Don't be fooled: Port 1 on the unit is number 3 when configuring VLANs. vlan0 = eth0.0, vlan1 = eth0.1 and so on.
Port | Switch port |
---|---|
Internet (WAN) | EXAMPLE 4 |
LAN 1 | EXAMPLE 3 |
LAN 2 | EXAMPLE 2 |
LAN 3 | EXAMPLE 1 |
LAN 4 | EXAMPLE 0 |
