    AC68U bricked during tomato firmware attempt.

    Ok, I have a question: These scripts should install either on the JFFS or in the USB. I just got a cheapo 8GB USB stick so I don't wear out the JFSS. How should I do it in order to mount the USB permanently and install onto it?

    Uhhh never heard of them, TBH. I'm rather newbie on modified router firmwares. I'll take a look. Thanks!

    AC68U bricked during tomato firmware attempt.

    Well, yeah actually. I'd like to have a proper working firewall that can block secure URLs as well as normal ones. I'm trying to block the playstation domains, and it's clearly not working. I was trying to get it done via the router, without having to spin an additional VM server just for the...

    AC68U bricked during tomato firmware attempt.

    So...the reset button doesn't seem to work after waiting for a couple of seconds right after a reboot. Probably it doesn't get to load the OS to the point where it's responsive to that. If pressed before powering up, it does take you to reset, but if you wait even one second afterwards, it...

    AC68U bricked during tomato firmware attempt.

    Dang...seems my last comment got pending moderation permanently. After the 378.55 upload, it rebooted...but it still gets stuck at the bootloop. Clearing the NVRAM with the WPS button seems not to do much, but at least it gets the power led flashing rapidly. What should I try next? Any suggestions?

    AC68U bricked during tomato firmware attempt.

    Ugh...How can I figure out the revision number? I don't see any kind of clue on the router labeling. As an update...I installed the suggested Merlin 378.55. The recovery tool copied the firmware successfully, but it still will get stuck at a boot loop, rebooting every minute or two. I tried...

    AC68U bricked during tomato firmware attempt.

    Hahah, no worries, even though the forum might have blocked it, I received it on the reply notification email, so I got it. Yeah, it's pretty much the procedure I've been doing, with the Asus Firmware Restoration tool. I'll try to use the suggested firmware, hopefully that works. After...

    Perfect, thank you! I'll get to that in a couple of hours, as I'm at the office now.

    Thanks for that! Which 378.55 do you mean? Tomato, Merlin or Stock? Could you provide a link? I didn't see the firmwares having different partition sizes, which it really looks like the issue I'm currently having.

    AC68U bricked during tomato firmware attempt.

    Thanks, and sorry for the lack of precision, as I was typing from my phone. I was running initially the latest Jan 2018 stock Asus FW, but after the failed Tomato attempt, that stock one failed to upload from recovery (too big). I downloaded a stock Asus FW from ~2014 I believe. So far I'm still...

    AC68U bricked during tomato firmware attempt.

    Hi guys, So...this happened. I tried to follow carefully the instructions, but after the firmware upload, the router never came back. After 45 mins, I manually attempted to clear the VRAM (via WPS button pressed at boot), with disastrous results...it looked rather dead. However recovery...
