Here is an update: Today I was able to flash my Asus_rt-ac68u with the Sept 17, 2021 BS build. I flashed from the kongac graphical interface. This time my router was not bricked and the firmware worked as expected. However there are 2 issues:
1) When making a change in the router config using the GUI, after making a change, it will always go to routeripaddress/apply.cgi which throws a page that says that the page is not available. I then have to navigate to the routeripaddress and back to the page where I made the change. I tested this with Opera and Firefox. This is very annoying especially when making several changes in the configs. The same issue happened on my Asus rt-ac56u which I flashed with the same build.
2) I could not get the SoftEther client to work. The SoftEther SERVER does work on my Asus rt-ac56u router using the same BS build but the client would not work on this router. I set the client to enable in the GUI, pasted the config into the box. I also tried to manually configure the client. The "vpnclient" command is not recognized.
So I ended up reverting to the kongac build from 2017 so that I can run SoftEther.
So, report it in the build thread, please. Orphan build reports are not good.

Feel free to run ancient unsupported and undeveloped CVE filled kong builds.
