I've just bought RT-AX88U. After installing Asuswrt-Merlin the router turned into a brick. The Wi-Fi networks are not broadcast though both LED lights are on. It seems that LAN ports are also dead. WAN light is red. I tried powering off and on several times but it didn't help, so I used the firmware restoration tool to recover the router.
I've tried different version of Merlin and official firmware and what I noticed is that the router works perfectly fine only with official ones. Uploading whichever version of Merlin firmware ends up with failure.
Has anybody meet similar behavior? Or does ASUS prevent from using unofficial firmware?
