Aha nice, thanks for checking - I should have done that 😅
Yeah, I don't care about the flash storage. My concern was more about what code they may have added to drive such a jump in the file size.
Slightly odd that the size of the firmware ballooned with this latest release...
The last 20+ releases before this have been <75MB, but this version is over 95MB.
Would just "Improved compatibility with certain IoT devices" add so much to the firmware size, given it's a very minor release?!
Thanks for the heads-up!
I never have AICloud enabled (only local access), but I am on the latest official firmware nonetheless.

This started happening after I updated to the latest official firmware release (3.0.0.4.388.20566), and I'd love to solve this without doing a hard reset and setting the unit up from scratch...

Thanks @L&LD, I shall persevere... must admit though, I had a moment of weakness and just ordered an AX86S to replace it (had a Best Buy voucher burning a whole in my pocket). Oh well, if I get it working again, I guess that's an added bonus.
Update: left overnight (20+ hours) and tried using Rescue Mode as outlined here: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1000814/
No dice, it still stays immediately "stuck" with those LEDs on... let me know if you guys have any other suggestions please!
Hi,
Thanks for the replies - here's what I've tried doing so far:
Attempted reset using the tiny button on the back (soft reset) - nothing happens, LEDs stay lit as in the pic above
Attempted reset using the WPS button method (hard reset) - nothing happens, LEDs stay lit
Changed power adapter...
Hi All,
It looks like my RT-AC68W has randomly died :( it was being used as an AIMesh node with my RT-AX86U (main router) and has been fine for a few months. Prior to that it was used as a main router for many years.
Now it seems to power on fine, but is stuck with a few of the LEDs on (LAN...
