Hello,

What is the difference between product Simple ASUS RT-AC68U and AC68U V3? What does V3 mean? How much more can you do? Is V3 as compatible with DD-WRT as the regular version?

IDk why you would want to buy a Broadcom device, Atheros would serve you a lot better as its opensource, Broadcom is closed source drivers wise.

I have the RT-AC68U, its a E1 version idk if the v3 is E1 but in any case DD-WRT supports the routers versions from A1, C1 and E1.

I still wouldn't buy the same router again today in any case.

Specific hardware differences are generally documented on WikiDevi or other site, and sometimes in the DD-WRT Wiki. You can start with the following link and click on links and read to your heart's content.

More direct pointer: https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ASUS_RT-AC68U_V3

https://www.en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC68_series

No FCCID info on the E1 (or C1 or B1 or RT-AC68W), unless:

https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ASUS_RT-AC1900 = RT-AC68U C1

But it sure would help the larger picture out to have verified information to further research.

Did you attempt flashing the RT-AC68U firmware file (asus_rt-ac68u-firmware.trx)?
