Turn the router on while pressing the reset button. After about 5-10 secs the power led should flash, release it.

You can then use Asus's Firmware Recovery tool to reflash it.

If you can't put it into recovery mode by using the reset button then it's most likely a hardware issue.

Even serial method wont work for me??

If yes can you tell me how? To do it with this model? Please?

Is there anyway to fix it??

As I said, if it fails to enter recovery mode, then something must be wrong with the hardware. You might be able to tell more by hooking a serial interface to it, but chances are, if it's a hardware issue, then you will need to RMA the device.

Is there a way or tutorial how to hook serial to the router? Please?

Pretty straightforward, as Asus even puts a header, and identifies all the pins on it. Just connect ground, RX and TX (do not connect VCC), use a Serial to TTL adapter. There's no guide in itself, but many posts on the forums here discuss the use of serial dapters. It's the same for all Asus router models.
