Asus RT-AC68U bricked or not ?

[Teemu Siitonen]

I am unable to go rescue more (reset button down and then power the box, I have done this before many times and now power light is just on all the time.

I tried 30/30/30 reset, nothing happened, also when I start the box and wait, only power light is on, and default ip address is not active, I am pretty sure that box is not starting

What I can try ?

Any tips ?

If you failed to check your CFE work including comparing the file size matches then you have a brick. No way back without taking chips off the board to reflash them.
Welcome to the club, I still have an n66u up the loft I bricked a few years ago.

We have cfe editors to use now, best to use that as it doesn't bugger up the file size when you change a 3 digit to a 4 digit.

Sorry it is not good news and once rebooted with a bad CFE you have no way back.

Is it under warranty?

Thank you for quick responce, it is under warranty but I bought it from usa and I am now in Finland, I haven't check íf it is valid here.

it is just good to know that I don't spend time to reseting etc etc if its just waste of time.

They do not offer international warranty so you may have to ship it back.
