Did you hard reset the router using the following steps? (Power off, then power on the GT-AC5300 while holding the WPS button) https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1039078

Ensure that NVRAM is cleared (the hard reset should do this), then flash your firmware of choice after the initial reboot - I'd recommend going with the latest version 3.0.0.4.384_82037. Set up the configuration manually, from scratch, do not restore your previous configuration from a backup.

If your GT-AC5300 still doesn't function correctly after the process above, I'd suspect potential surge damage from the power interruption, especially if that power interruption was caused by a lightning strike.

You may also try to buy or borrow a new power adapter with the same specs and connector.
Usually what you're describing means bad luck :(
 
Definitely consider a UPS with some decent surge protection as well. They're often overlooked in any setup and are worth their weight in gold for the equipment damage they usually prevent.
 
i am able to do restoration... for now the 3rd band 5g gaming wifi is missing. cant do a hard reset coz it takes a lot of time to comeback online.... it take a day or half to work again...
 
Seems that your GT-AC5300 has a hardware issue. It may still work to some extent but I wouldn't rely on it for too much longer.
