ASUS RT-AC57U V1

This is a dual band 802.11ac AC1200 gigabit wireless router. There are four non-detachable antennas and a USB2 port.

The RT-AC57U v1 is a rebadged RT-AC1200GU powered by a Mediatek dual core SoC. (Do NOT confused it with any other device with model name beginning RT-AC1200) The RT-AC57U v2 announced in August 2019 uses a Qualcomm SoC. New RT-AC57U v3 appeared on Asus USA website in March 2020.

  1. Complete the initial setup wizard.
  2. Activate SSH under “Administration” → “System”.
  3. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image via scp. (Windows users can use WinSCP to copy owrt.bin file to /tmp folder)
    > scp owrt.bin admin@192.168.1.1:/tmp
  4. Connect via SSH to the router. (Windows users can use PuTTY)
    > ssh admin@192.168.1.1
  5. Write the OpenWrt image to flash by executing the following command. (No messages are displayed during execution. The command is completed in about 30 seconds)
    > mtd-write -i /tmp/owrt.bin -d linux
  6. Reboot the router with this command
    > reboot

generic.flashing.tftp

  1. Set your computer's IP-Address to 192.168.1.75.
  2. Power up the router with the reset button pressed.
  3. Release the reset button after 5 seconds.
  4. Upload OpenWrt sysupgrade image via TFTP:
    > tftp -4 -v -m binary 192.168.1.1 -c put <IMAGE>

Specific values needed for tftp

FIXME Enter values for “FILL-IN” below, then remove the surrounding <WRAP BOX>...</WRAP>

Bootloader tftp server IPv4 address FILL-IN
Bootloader MAC address (special) FILL-IN
Firmware tftp image see table above
TFTP transfer window FILL-IN seconds

If you are a Windows user, see the Asus Rescue mode instructions further down this page.

FIXME 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.

generic.sysupgrade

Recommend to use the latest stable releases. Note the very development snapshots do not include LuCI.

  • 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

If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line.

Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.

sysupgrade

  • Ensure router has internet access.
  • You will need the full path to download the sysupgrade file.
  • 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.bin
sysupgrade /tmp/xxx.bin

Alternatively, use SCP (Windows users can use WinSCP tool) to transfer the sysupgrade file (eg. owrt.bin) to the /tmp folder

  • Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1 (Windows users can use PuTTY), then enter the following command:
sysupgrade /tmp/owrt.bin

For Windows users, Asus provide a Firmware Restoration Tool to restore original firmware to the RT-AC57U v1. Download both the tool and the latest firmware for RT-AC57U v1 from here: Asus download page

Instructions for using the tool is described here: Restoration Tool instructions

The steps are summarised below:

  1. Download & Install the asus “Firmware Restoration” from asus website
  2. Download the factory image from asus
  3. Switch off the Router
  4. Hold Reset Button and switch on the Router
  5. Release button when front LED flashes slowly
  6. Use the following to set up your TCP/IP settings:IP address: 192.168.1.10 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  7. Start the Firmware Restoration tool
  8. Select firmware *.trx and upload

Recommend to factory reset the router as follows:

  1. Power on the router for a minute or two.
  2. Hold the Reset button in for a few seconds.
  3. When the Power LED starts to blink, release the button.
  4. After the router reboots, the Asus web UI should present you with the Quick Setup Wizard.

Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.

The default network configuration is:

Interface Name Description Default configuration
vlan1 (eth0.1) & br-lan LAN ports (1 to 4) & Wifi 192.168.1.1/24
vlan2 (eth0.2) WAN port DHCP client
wlan0 2.4 GHz WiFi Disabled
wlan1 5 GHz WiFi Disabled

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) 6
LAN 1 1
LAN 2 2
LAN 3 3
LAN 4 4

Note: This will void your warranty!

To open the case, first, we'll need to remove the 4 small rubber feet, after the removal we can access to the 4 screws that hold the lid. After getting them removed we now can pull apart the lid. It's hold in place very tightly by little extruded plastic holders. We'll need to crack them open. As a recommendation you can start by the rear part using a spudger and slowly get to the front to fully release the lid.

  1. AsusSrcMod firmware re-instates functions which Asus chose to remove from the original firmware. VPN support includes PPTP and OpenVPN (including .ovpn file upload). Tested openvpn client speeds of 18.5 Mbps via ethernet. Update:The AsusSrcMod is no longer available.

Jan 2020: Relayd wireless bridge may not work properly with OpenWrt - symptoms are very poor upstream speeds. Padavan-Ng offers working Wireless Bridge operating mode. See bug report FS#2816

  1. Padavan-Ng/Linaro fork. See post by Alexey from March 2021 for latest build (fixes LEDs).
