Hoping you all can solve this problem.
I have an ASUS RT-AC68U that was loaded with DD-WRT and I wanted to load a new version of firmware. After doing so I could no longer get the device to boot (or so I thought). It no longer would go into recovery mode (or so I thought).

Now that I have a serial connection I am seeing it is booting. When started working via serial I was getting an error upon that tftp failed and there was no IP address being assigned. The device started up but no wifi/ethernet.

Doing some digging I found a post stating to use the following
Quote:
nvram set et0macaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
nvram set 0:macaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
nvram set 1:macaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
nvram commit
reboot


Doing this made the tftp attempt to load and showed it would bind to an IP Address. However, no matter which ethernet port I plug into I cannot ping or tftp the 192.168.1.1 IP Address.

..tftp retry wait 1
..tftp retry wait 2

..tftp retry wait 4


When booting one of the errors I see is this and makes me wonder if I need to do something else to get the network switch made available?

Just trying to think of a work-around is there a way to load firmware via the USB and the console?

Looks like it boots. Have your tried to reset to factory default?
If not, execute "nvram erase && reboot" on the command line.

Could be a possible hardware failure. Was it working on stock firmware?

Yes I have done this numerous times, but it does not help.

At this point, that's what I'm trying to determine here. I know I have had issues with this router every time I attempted to upgrade it. I was running DD-WRT (I think v3 r36079) previously but was attempting to upgrade in order to address vulnerabilities that were resolved. I had to pull this one from service and swap it for another.

The part that worries me the most is that during the CFE it sees the Broadcom chips and reports no issues, even assigns an IP, but nothing can reach it. My other routers never had that issue.

So far I have not been able to get the USB ports to work either, but power up USB devices (makes their LED's come on). To be fair, I may not be doing things right, but I thought this version of DD-WRT had automount enabled?
Maybe not by default...

Ethernet ports show up the LED on every port. So far I cannot get WLAN, Ethernet or USB to work.

Was just hoping someone with more experience than I could confirm the scenario.

Somewhere in all these web search results, you may find something. There is also the wiki and original device support thread(s).

What is it about these routers that they are fixed by "FM". This would be the second router that I put to the side for a day (unplugged), came back to it to give it one last try, and BAM! It's fixed...


This was the original thread I followed a few days ago. I happened upon it again using your search and went through it one more time. I've NVRAM erase no less than 20 times over the course of the weekend, but this time it worked...

I think the fix was restarting my computer... Yes, that definitely was the fix because it had absolutely no bearing on the problem, and why wifi wasn't showing up or USB...

Whatever! Thank y'all for your feedback and for giving me the desire to carry on! ^_^
