RT-AC88U went dead after ASUS firmware update "RT-AC88U_3.0.0.4_380_7743-g2cf84e9". I have read all the threads telling how to get into discovery mode but for some reason it will not. 95% of the time it will not do anything when I put the power on it. There are 4 lights that are very, very dim but no connection can be made. I have attached a pic. The lights in the pic look bright but trust me, they are dim, barely can tell they are lit. Will not ping, will not connect using ASUS Firmware Restoration. I have followed the ASUS & Merlin instructions to the T, no luck. I bought the router 1 year ago today so I still have 1 year left on the warranty and I was hoping to avoid a RMA. Is there anything, anyone else can recommend to try and re-flash the firmware on this router?
