After connecting my Asus RT-AX58U to my new ISP, I made some changes to try it with a second ax capable router used as a WiFi 6 extender.
I had previous success with a non ax Vodafone router and my new ISP Technicolor one is much faster so was hoping for an increase is speed.
(While I am still waiting for the compatible Mini DX4 to become available in black).
The second router was assigned the IP address 192.168.1.2 on the same subnet. The Asus has the IP address 192.168.1.1.
I then tried the AP mode thinking this would better serve my needs; however, I now know this was a wrong move!
Subsequent searching has confirmed this is used when the Asus is the second router, so my internet no longer works, and again this means no GUI access to the router using a browser.
My Asus now appears to be bricked!!!
I then tried to use the AsusTek app on my tablet to access it, but it wouldn't connect to the router.
I tried a reset using the reset button and a hard reset using the WPS button.
Both methods require the app as again there is no default internet connection and no GUI until I can set up my ISP PPPOE details.
When I do this using the AsusTek app for some reason I still cannot connect to the internet.
The app has a restore function but this first requires a backup on tablet where it is installed, which I don't have. Once it is working I then do everything on my PC where I have created a backup.
So, can anyone let me know the default location and naming convention for the backup files for the app so I can copy and paste across to my tablet.
I am hoping this will allow me to restore and get thing running again.
Also, as the default firmware is 3.0.0.4.384.9505, which I believe to be buggy, can I update the firmware to 3.0.0.4.386.42095 using the app?
