Short story I flashed firmware for AC68U on my AC87U.
Now via web interface it will not accept the firmware for a AC87U
I can however flash different versions of the AC68U firmware via web interface.
Additionally I unable to flash it via recovery mode.
The device goes into recovery mode fine but the Asus Firmware Restoration tool never connects to the router.
Timing out every time. I have tried every LAN port multiple times and manually setting the IP addresses.
I cannot seem to get recovery mode to connect.
I did stumble across a post where it was mentioned that flashing the trx via telnet was possible on a older router but every attempt to recreate this on the AC87u has been unsuccessful.
Is this router not recoverable?
Looking for any advice on how to proceed.
thanks for the help.
Oh and I can only connect to the router via wifi 2.4ghz. LAN does not seem to work properly.
