The Badger v2.6.0

The Badger v2.6.0 by Jason Buechler

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
