    AB-Solution 2.0 is out! (v2.0.1)

    I have not read all the posts in this thread, so if it is already answered I'm sorry. But is there any interface directly in the firmware (the web gui) to control the ad blocking? Like turning it on and off, see basic statistics (maybe) and make sure listings etc are updated from there? Or you...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    They do accept returns with custom firmware. No doubt. Like you said though, before I returned it I flashed with the latest stock firmware and did a reset to factory defaults as well. :-)

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    Thanks :) Yea I spoke with ASUS as well and it doesn't seem like a problem to get it replaced. Basically they told me that as long as there is no visible damage on the outside (like cracked plastic, broken LAN slots etc) it is covered by warranty no matter which custom firmware you flashed. I...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    None of the suggestions in this topic worked, as I tried all of them before creating the topic. Yesterday I took the decision to send it back to the company I bought it from, and they will continue with the RMA after that. Hopefully a replacement product isn't too far away. Thanks for all the...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    Maybe so. Still, I have used it for half a year and it has worked perfectly... It wasn't any issue until I flashed the most recent of Merlin's firmware... Just feels like there should be a way of fixing this without buying a new one or trying to get it RMA:ed. On the other hand, I doubt they...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    Tried the following today: Enable SSH in router settings Restarted router physically Logged in to router over SSH Erased nvram with mtd-erase2 nvram Flashed the router over SSH with latest merlin firmware, mtd-write2 /xxx.trx linux && reboot After this, router came back on, fully flashed...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    I have already checked this. It is some issue with the RT-AC5300 as I have replaced it with RT-AC66U which works perfectly.

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    Thanks for your effort to help, guys. Still no success in bringing the router back to life, though. Can the router be returned under warranty if it has been flashed with a third party firmware such as Merlin's? I have put a second Asus RT-AC66U back in business to replace my RT-AC5300 but it is...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    Damn. Yea, I have had this unit for several months now and it has been working really good all the time. But yesterday I was going to upgrade from Merlins 380.61 to 380.62_1 and since this firmware upgrade (which was successful according to the web interface), the router has not been working...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    Thanks for the heads up. I already tried this a few hours ago though, and it does not make any difference what so ever. It's strange that the CPU cores are close to 100%, they switch after a few seconds so 100% CPU1 and then a few seconds later CPU1 goes down to almost 0% and CPU2 goes up to...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    I tried the latest factory from ASUS. I also tried flashing back the firmware that recently worked on the router, Merlins 380.61 is currently installed on the router. But it is not behaving as it normally does. I can't select any wifi channels (list is empty) so no Wifi is running. WAN is not...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    I already have those settings on my computer, and yes the connection is wired. What I'm saying is that after WPS+boot I can acess the router (the wizard setup). Once it is completed and router is restarted, I can no longer access it again. The routers IP does not change. Also the router does...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    I have tried this before as well. Only thing that happends is that the web gui can be accessed, but it does still not identify the wan. I have verified the wan cable works by putting it straight into my computer (cable). When the auto wizard is running, it just keeps on saying "Disconnected"...

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    There is no device on the USB. How would you reset everything back to factory defaults without the web gui? Using the reset button?

    [CRITICAL] ASUS RT-AC5300 DEAD Failed Upgrade to 380.62_1

    Hi. I tried updating from 380.61 today which has been running on my ASUS RT-AC5300 perfectly. I was trying to upgrade to the latest version 380.62_1. I also did this firmware upgrade on the RT-AC66U, but never faced any issues there. However, with my RT-AC5300, I had issues right after the...
