    ASUS RT-AC68U not working after Merlin firmware update, did I brick it?

    Tried resetting again and got the screen @Tech9 posted. Logged in, reflashed with 386.12_4, restored backed up settings, and we back in business! Thanks to you all for your help! I wish I knew what exactly happened to knock it out in the first place.

    ASUS RT-AC68U not working after Merlin firmware update, did I brick it?

    Thanks, that's not the screen I get though. My dock shows connected to Wired connection, and if I open a browser, it will show a bar right underneath the location/bookmarks bar which reads: "You need to login to the network," and when I click that, I get an ASUS login screen asking for login and...

    ASUS RT-AC68U not working after Merlin firmware update, did I brick it?

    I was able to login to the WIFI (ASUS, ASUS_5G) with my laptop and got into the web GUI. Is there a guide on how to roll back firmware or should I just try to reboot it? Just to clarify, the router recovers (I think) since all the lights come on and I can see it appear on WIFI. Also, when...

    ASUS RT-AC68U not working after Merlin firmware update, did I brick it?

    Hi there, wondering if someone could help me get this router working again. It's ASUS RT-AC68U and I've been running Merlin firmware on it for years. Recently, I updated to 386.12_6, rebooted, and everything was fine. Last night, I'm on the computer (connected to router via ethernet cable)...
