Just got an RT-AX86S router (because it's hard to find the U version at the moment.)
Immediately flashed Merlin's current (RT-AX86U_386.3_2_cferom_pureubi.w) on the router and after reboot the setup dialog was missing the 'add as AIMesh node' option. Thought that was weird so I held down reset button and power to clear the config.
Would not come back up. Tried WPS+power and it still will not come up.
It's stuck with WPS, Eth4 on, and after a few seconds 2.4ghz and 5ghz light up. Power is never lit up. No blinkenlights, just solid LEDs.
Does not offer a DHCP lease, and manually setting an IP on my laptop and pinging 192.168.1.* and 192.168.2.* yields nothing.
I'm now reading that 386.4 Alpha2 officially 'supports' this model but have I really bricked it with the 386.3 firmware?
Anyone have any other ideas for getting it to the firmware restore page?
