I am on firmware version V1.0.3.26_10.0.70 on model R6300v2 and wanted to update to the most recent version.
While trying to update manually, that is by downloading the firmware and initiating the update process the router OS rejects it as being Invalid firmware.
Also, tried using the inbuilt settings in the router to update but failed with the same error.
i tried using different browsers as well with the same result.
Yes, I have 2 of them sitting around. I resently switched my r7000 to Xwrt-Vortex while it's not perfect it does offer some unique controls and options. One thing certain it will be a cold day in he// before ARLO is an option.
Yes, when I purchased it in china, I asked the seller to brush it with Asus- Merlin firmware. I used it for a year and often had an issue with a sudden drop of internet speed which didn't make sense as I was on a 100Mbps connection. Rebooting the router fixed the problem.
I used a special image to brush back to stock and was not able to update the firmware to a newer version. Then I brushed it again with DD-Wrt from there tried to go back to stock with updated firmware and failed. i researched a bit and found that there are two versions of R6300v2 CH and without CH, I brushed it with CH VERSION FIRMWARE. it worked but only to find out that it has no updates since the initial release. So, back to DD-Wrt again and tried brushing the updated firmware version of R6300v2 and it worked!
