Linksys WRT1900ACS install

Post by matteo2u »

Hi guys,

Sorry for the newb question. I think I found the right .bin file to use for this router, but I couldn't find a complete step by step install. Maybe it's easy and I'm overthinking it, but just trying to avoid bricking this new router. Anything in particular to be aware of for this model router?

Thanks for any help all!
Matt

Just go for it.
You can’t get it too wrong.

Your model also has 2 firmware partitions so is basically unbreakable unless you make two mistakes in a row.
And if you did, you could then use serial to recover it.

You would be well equipped to read this wiki article, as well as the generic Openwrt recovery documents so that if the worst happens, you are prepared.
