If you sucessfully overclocked this router you should see the bogomips value go up by the same amount as the overclock.įor example when overclocked to 1400mhz cpu and 800mhz memory cat /proc/cpuinfo would show cat /proc/cpuinfo Then ssh back into the router and issue a new “cat /proc/cpuinfo” command. If all goes well then you need to reboot to see any changes so enter the command “reboot” and wait a minute for the router to reboot. The important thing is that the first number be the cpu core operating frequency, and the second number is the memory frequency. In a ssh session enter “nvram get clkfreq” and press enter, you should see something nvram get change this one would enter in the terminal: (the command “commit” saves the nvram to flash ) memory Memory can be set to 800mhz or 666mhz only.\\ Note that only a few Ac68U's can run reliably at 1400mhz without extra cooling so avoid this unless you don't mind taking a risk or are comfortable debricking from a failed overclock. Stock AC68U has a core clock of 800mhz and memory at 800mhz. Serial : the bogomips value and keep it in mind for later, this correlates closely to the mhz of the 2 cpu cores. OVERCLOCKING: To overclock you need to ssh into router and first run “cat /proc/cpuinfo” which will look something like cat /proc/cpuinfo Overclock instructions and how to recover from an overclock gone too far: Please be aware that overclocking is dangerous and should only be tried by those willing to risk a bricking.
