    Help Plz: Asus RT-N66U Dark Night [Stuck in rescue mode]

    When I get into recovery mode and can finally ping the router the TTL=100. I cannot ping the router in any other scenario tried so far. When you say "hold the button for a few minutes", you mean hold the reset button, power on router and continue to hold reset for a few minutes...

    Help Plz: Asus RT-N66U Dark Night [Stuck in rescue mode]

    I have left it for over an hour a few times. What's really throwing me off is that when I upload the firmware it only takes 10-20 seconds and the recovery process takes another ~7 minutes, then shortly thereafter the power LED is blinking rapidly and nothing changes even when left for hours. I...
