Hi guys, I just got the Asus RT-N12 C1 and would like to flash it with dd-wrt. Unfortunately, there's no firmware available for C, only for B. Is it possible to flash it with the custom firmware for B? or I have to wait until C firmware will be available?

Thanks in advance!

Don't try flashing the firmware for another type, unless you want to brick your router.

@ slobodan: I kinda bricked it already but managed to restore with the latest asus firmware..

@ buddee: I've tried to find the information on FCC.gov, but no luck... I don't want to open it, as I consider replacing it if it isn't supported - the default firmware is crap! (can't even rename the SSID in repeater mode)

Thanks for your prompt response guys

Hmmm, found the specs in the following url:
http://wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-N12_rev_C1

Can it be supported?

[buddee]

If infact it is broadcom based, then yes it could be quite possible, but the devs would need the info from the first link i posted, or a donated unit for the port.

preliminary supported added in wl500g fw

not dd-wrt but based on Asus SDK.
be careful - these builds are early alpha builds and might temporary brick your router.
But until dd-wrt adds support - it's my only recomandation if you want to try a 3rd party fw - if you don't - stick with asus stock

Seems to completely identical to the B1 revision, with a nicer shell. According to DD-WRT database the B1 has 4 MB of flash, when Asus claims 8 MB.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can confirm this, so that C1 could be supported

Updates in this matter?
