Hi all,

I was using RT-AC86U only in access point mode for guest access and noticed that SSID was no longer broadcasted. I can't access GUI nor I can get it Recovery mode by powering it on while keeping Reset pressed. Just pressing reset button does nothing, power light stays solid.
At this point I think its bricked. Any other suggestions?

TIA!
 
One of the power converter ICs inside died, most likely. You can try with a different power supply, but if there is no change - new router.

The power converter inside is kaput! Good to take apart and play with it or recycle parts.
