AsusAC 66u Bricked?

[kamin99]

I was updating my AC 66u an with Merlin new firmware as I noted I lost the 5Ghz and it was half lit on the Modem site showing only 2.4 Ghz as active and I though It finished uploading but it failed to connect and and now I lost both wifi channels and power blue light is flickering
I tried 30-30-30 rest but nothing changes
any help please

This is not DD-WRT no 30-30-30 thing on ASUSWRT, power LED blinking means RECOVERY MODE, go to http://ROUTERIP and upload your FW.

30-30-30 is passe. Was there a reason to update firmware? You can reflash and be patient.
Go have a cup of coffee while reflashing is going on.

still no luck after trying the above i'm getting
Settings have been updated. Web page will now refresh.
Changes have been made to the IP address or port number. You will now be disconnected from RT-AC66U.
To access the settings of RT-AC66U, reconnect to the wireless network and use the updated IP address and port number.

and would not refresh

Set a STATIC IP on your NIC and refresh the page, try also via cmd line:

ping ROUTERIP and see if reply's.

Also, note if it replies with a TTL of 64 (normal mode) or 100 (meaning it's stuck in recovery mode).
