Guys, I'm having some trouble here. I have installed DD-WRT v24-sp2 (02/19/14) std - build 23598M. It was done via the firmware restoration tool. Everything seems to work for the most part, except my wireless dies every couple days, requiring a restart.

I want to test out the stock firmware, but having trouble reverting back. I've tried using the firmware restoration tool (tried the firmware with both .trx and .bin extensions). Also tried via the DD-WRT GUI. Both methods, no luck. Each time, it seems to give me a clean DD-WRT install (the password reset page).

Tried the 30/30/30, same results.

Dont know what else to try to go back to stock.

Hi guys,

I have exactly the same problem. I also have the ASUS RT-AC56U router. Was is possible to go back to stock? I've flashed the router with success, but I don't like it at all, so I want to restore the ASUS firmware. I've followed the instructions from several posts, but it is not working. I've tried the same things like tman785. I've also tried with different firmware versions but with no success Sad

I've also tried to reset to factory defaults, resetting the default settings and tried to install the ASUS firmware. In some cases i get a window with the title 'ASUSTek - CFE miniWeb Server'. I've tried to upload the ASUS firmware file and I've also tried to restore default NVRAM values, but the DD-WRT firmware is not overwritten.

Please help. Any help is appreciated.

Same problem with my Asus RT-AC68U.

I'm stuck in DD-WRT land forever it seems.

Tried the recovery page. Tried the Asus recovery too.

Nada. Zilch. Nope.

Hi Guys,

I just upgraded my new ac65u router to DDWRT and my speed dropped tremendously, like 5 times slower. Thus, I tried to revert back to Asus stock firmware but to no avail.

Can anyone advise on rectification? Now I am very disappointed with my itchy fingers.

Appreciate your help and prompt response.

To restore the Asus RT-AC56U, I've downloaded the first firmware version from Asus website which is this one "FW_RT_AC56U_3004374583.trx", link location it's this one " http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/RT-AC56U/FW_RT_AC56U_3004374583.zip?_ga=1.119277513.1569119127.1427223369 " and then I've made the firmware upgrade from DD-WRT interface.

After a successful upgrade I've updated to the last firmware upgrade from Asus website, all the operations were made with plug-in cable.

Hope that this was helpful
