.270 bricked my RT-N66W

[sm00thpapa]

Just tried flashing .270 onto my RT-N66W and it bricked it. I am now in the rescue mode trying to recover the router. So I take it only .276 from the N66U can be flashed on the N66W. So N66W owners stay away from .270 and .271. You have been warned.

Newer revisions of the RT-N66 models uses a totally different type of flash. That's why Asus released build 276 and they removed all those older builds from their website, and that's also why I moved all those older N66 firmwares to a separate folder on my own download site.
