    Asus RT-AC68U Goes to ASUStek CFE MiniWeb Server after Asus Merlin Firmware Upgrade

    I uploaded Merlin 384.10_2 using the ASUS Rescue utility. At first, I still couldn't access the UI using ethernet cable. But I noticed the router WiFi lights were on, so I tried connecting via WiFi. It connected, and I was able to bring up the UI. I then turned off WiFi on the PC and tried...

    Asus RT-AC68U Goes to ASUStek CFE MiniWeb Server after Asus Merlin Firmware Upgrade

    Even though I can't ping, I did get messages from the ASUS Rescue utility saying firmware upload was successful (i.e., progress indicator going to 100%, then the success message), but utility also says wait for router to reboot. But the router doesn't seem to be rebooting; lights didn't change...

    Asus RT-AC68U Goes to ASUStek CFE MiniWeb Server after Asus Merlin Firmware Upgrade

    No response on ping. Can the Merlin firmware be uploaded via the Asus Rescue utility? If yes, maybe I can try uploading an older version of Merlin. Of course there's the possibility that the router is just dead as you said, but I'm a bit suspicious of the timing though. Worked perfectly one...

    Asus RT-AC68U Goes to ASUStek CFE MiniWeb Server after Asus Merlin Firmware Upgrade

    I did the WPS procedure as you described, then got into rescue mode using the reset-button procedure. I set the PC to static address 192.168.1.10 and started the ASUS Rescue program downloaded from the ASUS site. Using the Rescue program, I successfully uploaded to the router the ASUS stocked...

    Asus RT-AC68U Goes to ASUStek CFE MiniWeb Server after Asus Merlin Firmware Upgrade

    Just tried that on a MacBook using a static address of 192.168.1.100. No reply when pinging 192.168.1.1. PC with the static address of 192.168.37.10 is still connected to the router; no reply when pinging to 192.168.37.1 from the PC either. BTW, I back flashed with Asus Merlin version...

    Asus RT-AC68U Goes to ASUStek CFE MiniWeb Server after Asus Merlin Firmware Upgrade

    Already tried resetting NVRAM and rebooting earlier. Router still kept my old setting at 192.168.37.1.

    Asus RT-AC68U Goes to ASUStek CFE MiniWeb Server after Asus Merlin Firmware Upgrade

    RT-AC68U genuine. As mentioned, it's worked for years with Asus Merlin. 192.168.37.1 is not the factory default setting. I set it to that for my home LAN; just wanted something different than 192.168.1.1.

    Asus RT-AC68U Goes to ASUStek CFE MiniWeb Server after Asus Merlin Firmware Upgrade

    I tried uploading via the CFE MiniWeb Page around 30 minutes ago. I still can't access any page on the router yet. I'm not sure whether the upload has completed, is still in progress, or has failed. Before the upgrade, my router has the IP address 192.168.37.1. I've removed the router from...

    Asus RT-AC68U Goes to ASUStek CFE MiniWeb Server after Asus Merlin Firmware Upgrade

    I've successfully used the Asus Merlin firmware on my Asus RT-AC68U router for years, upgrading to newer versions when appropriate during this period. I upgraded the firmware from version 384.11-2 to 384.15 yesterday. At the end of the upgrade process, I got a message saying upgrade was...

    Random freezing of router RT-AC68U firmware 380.57_0

    I switched from the stock Asus firmware to Asuswrt-Merlin 380.57 on a new RT-AC68U router earlier this week. I didn't know about the need to do a "Factory to default reset" so just did a regular update from the Asus stock firmware. Thing seems to be working fine. Was I supposed to do a...

    WAN Speed stuck at 100M Full Duplex on RT-AC68U

    I am running Asuswrt-Merlin 380.57_0 on an Asus RT-AC68U router. Everything's working fine, except when I looked under Tools->sysinfo, I noticed my WAN Link State is at 100M Full Duplex. The LAN speeds are at 1000M Full Duplex. Why is the WAN speed not also at 1000M Full Duplex? Is there any...
