    [SOLVED] RT-AC68U - Brick and can't take any firmware via recovery

    I have cleared the NVRAM in web GUI and then tried to move from AsuswrtMerlin to FreshTomato using Asus Router Firmware Restoration Utility (couldn't do that in GUI because of the Asus restriction on flashing unofficial software...). Unfortunately, after a long wait, the router wasn't detected...
