Be sure to check out the UBI installer to make the install easy: https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer

If you want WiFi 6, the first OpenWRT router to support them is the Linksys E8450 / Belkin RT3200. So that's what I just replaced my WRT1900ACS with. You said you can't find the Belkin RT3200 - but look for the E8450 as it's the same thing. If you can find one - https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer

Right, I think you've got the wrong image. This device needs to be repartitioned first, so you need an -installer- image. I strongly suggest you read through dangowrt's page to do some backups if you ever want to return to the stock firmware. Then, try this image from dangowrt's installer page .

My Belking rt3200 was working perfectly for months. After following DangoWRT's install process, I was able to use the provided AUC script to update twice (Performed via webUI). However, I let the device run continuously for several months without a reboot. My wife left for a day (about 10 days ago), so I thought I'd take the opportunity to let the router update itself again. However, running the internal "attended update" in Luci failed for some reason, I can't remember exactly. I might have notes saved somewhere if it's important. Anyway, I returned to u/DangoWRT's GitHub page and noticed an area that said "If you are not interested in building yourself, the pre-built files are available here." So I followed that link and downloaded the latest v0.6.5 update, and flashed it to the router.
