Unable to flash RT-AC66U with recovery (SOLVED)
I've got an AC66U with Merlins 376.44 firmware
This morning I noticed the CPU was at 100% so I tried to reboot from the web page.
Nothing happened so I turned it off using the power button.
When I turned it back on I had no IP (just the 169.#.#.#) using a wired LAN connection so I tried several resets, tried some 30-30-30s. Still no luck.
So I installed the Asus recovery utility and tried to recover.
The utility shows the firmware uploading then when it says recovering it gets to about 3% then jumps to rebooting.
The router reboots and I have the power LED flashing fast & 1 LAN light but still no connectivity.
I've searched the net in vain for a solution.
Any ideas please????
Cheers
Phil
