Hi
I hope I am in the Right forum. I asume that the RT-N12+ have a broadcom chipset, but I am not sure. I have not been able to find anything on this model. There is not any FCC-ID printed on the device.
Could you suggest a dd-wrt build that I could try to install on the device. Or will this not fly?
I am not afraid to brick device. There seem to be a pretty good procedure and utility to reinstall the f
ASUS firmware, if a firmware upgrade goes bad.
edit: device is compatible with RT-N11P, which has Padavan firmware available. Not sure if it brings major improvements though.
Flashing works from the web interface.
Second edit I did some tests, on wifi there is a major increase in speed. Old firmware got me ~12 mbps, Padavan firmware gets me ~24 mbps. Signal has an increase of about 15%
I can comfirm that Padavan RT-N11P base firmware works fine with RT-N12+. Thanks to ike07 and jurang.
The IP changes to 192.168.1.1 with username&pass: admin/admin

padavan firmware works it's just like ddwrt, my huawei 4g lte wireless broadband only allows upto 10 devices connected.
with padavan firmware I can bridge client ap + ap
it's like getting internet from 4g then allowing my asus rt-n12+ act as a router with unlimitted connection.
than default asus router firmware in repeater mode which repeats my 4g only upto 10 devices and won't allow anymore after that 10 max =P
edit:
I used RT-N11P_3.4.3.9-099_base.trx, also stock asus web settings loads like it has a bug where it won't open with padavan opens intantly, thanks to all in this thread.

Hi, can you describe how did you managed to change the firmware on rt-n12+ to padavan?
I am unable to do it over the web interface because it is not accepting it as a fw update. I am even unable to enter the rescue mode, it never flashes slowly always fast...
It has to do something with the wds/reset button it's one button on this model

I can confirm that Padavan for Asus RT-N11P works fine on RT-N12E B1 also. First update to nano (RT-N11P_3.4.3.9-099_nano.trx), then base (RT-N11P_3.4.3.9-099_base.trx). Configuration settings remains between those two.
Hey guys, i'm trying to install the Padavan firmware on a RT-N12+ but after uploading i get a message that says the update is unsuccessful and the router just reboots. Any help appreciated !
Is this firmware supporting the Repeater Mode of the router ? I would like to try it out nonetheless but i simply can't find a way to flash, tried holding the WPS button and pluggin in, power led flashes but can't get into the GUI and tftp2 doesn't wanna flash either.
Router is RT N12+ B1, tried both through wifi and the cable with static ip.
type in your address bar 192.168.1.1 then administration tab choose firmware upgrade then choose the *.trx file then upload. After flashing go to Admistration tab Settings then reset NVRAM, if you like storage to.
I'm so happy there is padavan in RT-N12+, easier than ddwrt.
Thanks, I've tried that and it just rejects the firmware and throws a non genuine firmware ver. kinda message. When powering on in what seems to be recovery mode(power led flashing), the GUI isn't working via 192.168.1.1.
