    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Yep that's essentially where I am with it. A unit pretty much doesn't power up or atleast when it does it does nothing... It'll most likely be flashed from the Asus techs and returned to me. I just hope there is no hardware components that failed within it.

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Yeah I know but you gotta remember I no longer can even get it to go into recovery mode. When I power it up I get no lights on the top of it apart from the WAN light and Ethernet light. Essentially just a paper weight. I figured if I was going to get it up and running I was going to use it to...

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Oh the only reason I chose not to use it as an AP because. I seperated my personal devices/home office from the rest of the house. Which means I can set a printer up or a storage drive that is accessible for myself while the rest of the home essentially has their own access. Keeping a network...

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    There was no real underlying issue with this setup it was more of a toying around to see what would happen, performing that route method I previously mentioned was what I assumed was just directing traffic to all devices connected to the second router I had daisy chained off the first one. I...

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Yeah I figured I wouldn't trust it entirely and have my work shared here to see if anyone spotted something I've done within this sub menu that is not right

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    So an update since my Last discussion regarding daisy chaining these Routers. I found in the "LAN" sub menus of the Asus RT-AC68U AC1900 , a "Route" option. Apparently this menu is for exactly the setup I have where I connect additional routers to the primary router. So it essentially gives an...

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Oh I've tried it all I think the router was just an entire write off. So I've opted to just pay the inspection fee and spell it out nice and clear in my email that there is no failed hardware and now parts need to be placed it just needs a flash so they don't come back at me with all these...

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Actually it was essentially the other way around loll.. the ac1900 is directly connected to the ISP modem. And the AC3200 is connected to the ac1900 via ethernet and I've placed the ac3200 in wireless router mode and I guess it's been working well. < Not sure if i set it up incorrectly...

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Haha. I figured that was the case. Explains why it wouldn't work. Yeah that's what I've done. The second router is a seperate network that's all. Im just concerned it might impede on my download and upload speeds like this.

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Well I've got it up and running over the weekend. And it's up and running and it works wonderfully. Tried messing around and trying something different but it failed LoL guess I must of set it up wrong. I was thinking of running my modem directly into an 8 port gigabit switch and then from the...

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Well in that case I'm safe I've got two spare 8 port switches lying around which I'll definitely put to use now thanks heaps.

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Yeah, I've spoken to the guy just before I purchased out it and gauged The use. It was mainly for his kids ipads and some light gaming he's purchased it sometime late 2021 and sent me the copy of the invoice. So I'm hoping it's a barely stressed device. He didn't seem to knowledgeable about...

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    As pleasing as the idea sounds I couldn't see myself spend that sort of money. They aren't cheap here in Australia. Something like this is no less than 500-600 AUD

    Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Bricked/Failed Firmware update

    Well I ended up getting them both for 150 the range extender was essentially just the bonus piece didn't really needed but couldn't complain for the price I think. So now the question is. Do I update the firmware 🤣 or do I keep as is. And if I do. I have to figure the safest and best way to...
