    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    I mean the boot loop happened before i started doing any recovery procedures or anything, so my bet would be the product. It worked completely fine for 3-4 months before it started acting out. Unplugging a replugging a product doesn't seems like a procedure that should require doing several...

    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    Yea i tried their method before i accidentially installed the wrong software, leaving it completely unresponsive. Now i've tried reinstalling the software like 5 more times, both with the port set to 192.168.50.1 and to 192.168.1.10, switching up between an old firmware, the newest firmware...

    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    Ok, so this is what i try to do. Plug ethernet cable into my CPU and the Lan port of the router. Turning on the router while holding down reset, causing it to blink. Typing ncpa.cpl into start, choosing LAN, and changing the properties of TCP/IPV4 to: 192.168.50.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway...

    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    Yea, but that's what i've done like 8 times now. Both with the most current version of the Asus firmware, with an older version of the Asus Firmware, with a wrong firmware (oops) and with the Merlin Firmware. Only once (just before) did i get it out of the bootloop, but every other time...

    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    Nope, i did not do a reset to factory defaults. Since this one broke i've been using my old router which have been working just fine with the cable i plugged in. And just now when everything was working fine, i was using the same adapter as when the bootloop occured. So seemingly the only...

    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    God dang it. After getting it back to life (with all lights flashing) i unplugged it and moved it to the spot where my ethernet cable is. I plugged it in, and now it's back to perpertual boot loop. So i guess i just return it at this point?

    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    Hey! That actually worked! Lights are on again. I will give it 30 minutes of rest and then trying hooking it to see if it is out of its perpertual boot loop.

    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    Ok, so i don't need to release at a certain point for it to reboot? Like i tried to follow these instructions: Unplug it (with the power button on) Leave for 5 minutes Hold WPS Plug in the power Keep holding for 60 seconds Release the WPS button That does not do anything, it's still only lan...

    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    If the router fails to start properly (this method uses a router bootloader function and shall work as long as there is no hardware fault): Turn off the router. Press and hold the WPS button. Turn on the router. Wait about 10 seconds. Release the WPS button. So if i do this, and the only thing...

    ASUS RT-AC86U died. Does installing a asuswrt-merlin driver breach warranty?

    Hey everyone. I've got a ASUS RT-AC86U back in september. A month or two ago it stopped working. After un- and replugging it (i was vacuuming), it got caught in a perpertual boot loop. I tried to fix it by using the ASUS firmware restoration software. I found the appropriate firmware and tried...
