Hi,
I just bought an RT-AC3200.
My problem is that after a flash and first time configuration, any reboot places the router in Rescue Mode until I flash it again.
I've tried latest Stock and Merlin, with equal effect. How can I make the firmware stay / boot correctly after it's installed and my settings are configured?
When I first received the router, it booted up correctly and had the November 2019 stock FW.
I can't get the Windows ASUS Recovery Tool to work - it can't find the router when in Rescue Mode (Probably windows/firewall issue).
tftp from Windows flashes then goes to Rescue Mode.
mini web gui flashes then goes to Rescue Mode.
tftp from linux yields a configurable working install... for only 1 boot.
I have:
reset to factory defaults prior to flashing.
cleared NVRAM via mini web gui.
tried stock FW.
tried Merlin FW.
let it sit for 1 hr after flash and boot before configuring.
read all related posts on this forum and elsewhere I can find about this issue.
I'm stuck
