REQUIREMENTS:
- A relatively recently updated Windows 10 computer
- Administrator privileges for the user running the script
- All network adapters, besides one ethernet, to be disabled/disconnected
- Several files that I'm not hosting or including because I have no idea what the licenses are and am not interested in taking that obligation on... BUT, they're easy to find. Grab them from this famous instructional page: https://www.bayareatechpros.com/ac1900-to-ac68u/
- Optional (but recommended) is an rt-ac68u CFE .bin file of the version you desire. The most commonly needed one can be found in the "tmo2ac68u" package here: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Asus_T-Mobile_Cellspot or via a little googling.
MAKE IT DO:
- verify you've collected all the files in one place (see below)
- right click badger.ps1 and "Run with PowerShell"
- if it opens in PowerShell ISE, you'll see the green-text note at the top saying to run it using the green play/triangle button
- however you run it, if it determines you need to do so, it will alert you that it will relaunch itself properly
NECESSARY FILES:
- The Badger's scripts -----> https://github.com/jasonbuechler/asus-rebadger/releases
- badger.ps1
- bits/*.ps1
- downloads from bayareatechpros
