Hi all,
Whilst I keep looking around for a good price on the RT-AX86S (or 86U) I just wondered if there was any hope of my RT-AC66U being brought back to life or does it sound like it is totally dead?
I'm hoping to get a replacement in the next week or two when I see a good deal.
I've unplugged everything from it, tried removing the power for 10 minutes or more. Plugged the power back in whilst holding the WPS button in and get slow flashing power light.
It doesn't broadcast any SSIDs and when I plug my laptop into any LAN port or the WAN port on it I can't seem to access it at all. I've reset it a number of times now, tried holding the WPS button in for 30 seconds or so as well whilst the power LED is flashing slowly.
I've tried setting a static IP on my laptop and can't access it at all and sounds like it's in Rescue mode but the firmware utility is unable to see the router at all.
The ethernet cable works fine when I connect to the Virginmedia Hub (which is awful) so I know the LAN port and cable work on my laptop.
The hub us causing a pain with a number of devices I have with static 192.168.1.x addresses as it uses 192.168.1.x for the guest network (I do remember there was a trick for this somewhere but may not work anymore).
