All you’d have to do is use the included flashing script within the firmware package. The above file name may vary depending on the version of CM you are building. Your build may not include a version number or may identify itself as a “KANG” rather than UNOFFICIAL version. Regardless, the file name will end in .zip and should be titled similarly to official builds. In the same terminal window that you did the build. The stuff that will go in /system is in a folder called system. The stuff that will become your ramdisk is https://web.ulv.edu.mx/get-the-latest-features-with-zte-software-update/ in a folder called root.
Specifically, using an Asuswrt router unit to host a Merlin satellite is not a good idea. But again, your mileage will vary, and generally, it’s best to use Merlin consistently when possible. But in my brief testing, I’ve used multiple combos where the router unit runs Merlin, the satellites are on Asuswrt, and things are generally fine. Note that you generally want to use AiMesh with the same firmware (Asuswrt or Merlin). Mixing the two, understandably, might lead to unexpected issues. Also, AiMesh is developed by Asus, so Asuswrt is naturally better and more predictable. Still, it’s unsurprising that its official name is Asuswrt-Merlin, though some might call it MerlinWRT.
If you think DD-WRT is complex, then you will be completely overwhelmed by what OpenWRT offers. It’s not a friendly alternative firmware by any means, but it’s a gold mine for enthusiasts due to the granularity of settings offered. The firmware of a device, that little piece of software that controls the communication between the hardware and software, can make or break a device. A lot of the times we say “this product is bad” has something to do with the rushed buggy firmware, not the actual components used by the manufacturer. With AiMesh you can have your Merlin FlashRouter easily communicate with your existing router around your home (or office) network. As network devices communicate with each other, you’ll never have to think about dead spots as you move around. You can also set rules for specific devices, thanks to VPN policy routing by device.
- Have one that works, and one that you can break without having to stay up all night to get online.
- SSH is also added as a login option for secure command-line management of the router.
- On the other hand, Merlin is the third-party firmware available only to certain Asus routers.
- This tutorial is based on the official ASUS unlock tool that only works under stock Android L. Migrations from stock M are know to have issues with both sim cards not being detected.
- From within Titanium, you can surf through the long list of apps and click on any you don’t want.
And then install the Asus flash tool by following the wizard of the application. The very first thing which you need to do is to download the Asus flash tool 32/64 bit.
