Posted: Sun May 07, 2017 8:20 Post subject: (SOLVED) Is the Asus RT-N12HP_B1 supported?
I've done a search in this forum before asking.
So far everyone asking this same question hasn't mentioned the revision of their RT-N12, they only mention the model.
I've read that the RT-N12HP is similar to RT-N12D1 and you can install the firmware RT-N12B1 in it.
I want to ask if my asus RT-N12HP_B1 is the same as the RT-N12HP? No one ever mentioned their revision so I'm not 100% sure about this.
In addition, browsing through the supported devices list isn't particularly obvious either because it only lists the RT-N12 but did not explicitly list RT-N12HP. Notice I underline the HP?
I just need to verify and be 100% sure before I flash anything.
It's good practice right?

This is an unsupported router so anything you do is at your own risk.
I'm running new build K3.x 31924 on my RT-N12D1
been up 4 days, 19:35 no problems but it is just a WAP + guest network.
Note: I have two RT-N12D1 and have never installed a dd-wrt build on one that is made for another
router ..... not sayin it want work just that the generic builds do work. There is a ton of info
all thru the post/link I made... most of which is not relevant now w/new K3.x builds of this year.
Also know that if you are using this for a main gateway device its speed will not likely be more
than 50 Mbps running dd-wrt K3.x build. For faster you need use k2.6
K3.x on that router running a VPN should do est 8 Mbs at best
They confirmed the RT-N12HP_B1 and RT-N12B1 uses the exact same SoC too.
Tomato firmware officially supports my router. Since dd-wrt doesn't officially support my router, do you think that in my case it's better I use tomato instead?
They also offer the features I want.
I'll be flashing the shibby's tomato build 138 (tomato-K26-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-138-Max.zip)
Was anybody able to flash the recent revisions of RT-N12HP_B1 with DD-WRT? I've tried a couple of versions with Asus Firmware Restoration utility, including the old ones:
and recent ones:
dd-wrt.v24-35831_NEWD-2_K2.6_openvpn.bin
dd-wrt.v24-36698_NEWD-2_K2.6_openvpn_small.bin
None of it seems to work. The router does not respond on 192.168.1.1 after the firmware is flashed. My current stock firmware is RT-N12HP_3.0.0.4_380_2943-g7820149.trx .
P.S. Finally, after degrading to older stock firmware, dd-wrt.v24-25974_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12C1.trx did worked.
