Prerequisites

  1. Download the latest dd-wrt firmware from either the router database or from ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/, latest version, folder asus-rt-ac66u/
  2. You need a telnet client. For example PuTTY
  3. Connect your computer to the router. The preferred way is via wired cable from the computer to one of the 4 ports on the router although via WIFI is also possible but if the wireless connection is lost while you upload the new firmware, well then you could be in trouble...

Installation instructions

  1. Login to the standard Asus UI page of the router (usually 192.168.1.1). If this is the first time you do this it can be that you must go through a wizard to configure the standard setup.
  2. Enable Telnet by going to Advanced Settings > Administration > System > Enable Telnet and click on "Apply"
  3. Open a telnet connection to the router (usually 192.168.1.1). Then enter your username and password for the router admin panel. By default both are admin. You should get the prompt (#) where you can enter the following commands.
  4. To clear the nvram: mtd-erase -d nvram
    You should get something like:
    Erasing 0x0 - 0xffff
    "nvram" successfully erased.
  5. Reboot the router: reboot
    You will loose telnet connection and the router reboots. Wait some time until this is done and then continue
