Hi ASUSmy,

I have a RT-AC68u for close to 5 years now - recently discovered that the wireless signals are not transmitting from the router, same for Ethernet. I used another router - my internet is working fine. Suspect the router is already busted, tried resetting but still the same.

I think I bricked my router.

Long story short - currently running AC86U as my main router (upstairs) and AC68U (downstairs) via AiMesh.

However, there was an update for the AC68U and I updated it via the ASUS app on my phone - installed fine and everything was fine. I usually turn off my main router at night because its in my room and will turn it on the next morning. Unfortunately the Mesh connection did not recover for the AC68U and I switched it off and on (restart) again to see whats up. This time, there was no lights except the USB2.0 lights (static) for > 10 mins. I pressed the reset button, did all the 30/30/30 reset, WPS hold method etc and still can't get the router to reset and the USB2.0 light is constantly on regardless of how many times I removed the power etc.

Is there any way to salvage my router? Or is it done for? I really like the AiMesh network, only managed to use it for one day and this happened

Hi, thanks. Unfortunately the router doesn't detect the LAN cable because its only showing the USB2.0 light, nothing else. I tried this method as well, but doesn't seem to detect it.

I guess so. I’ll have to send it for RMA, but not sure when since MCO is still in place 😅

Thanks for your help

I'm actually facing the same issue with my AC86U on 5Ghz channel with my MacBook. I suspect it is something to do with Big Sur (the OS), because it doesn't affect my other devices at all.

Wonder when is Asus Malaysia bringing in the latest AXE11000 to Malaysia.

Was considering taking the AX11000 until I saw this 😩 I do have a couple of Wifi6 devices, so hopefully that 6GHz band will come in handy.

Yeah Wifi6E devices won’t see the day until end of the year, somewhat a future proofing router.

That Tri-Band on this is like the AX11000 except for the 5Ghz being replaced by the 6Ghz.
