I did hard reset like metod 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1chr1-exVM&t=35s pluged off power than hold wps button for 10 second than plug in power holding wps button untill power led blinks than relase.
Router rebooted twice, i will wait for turn on wifi or lans..

In lan port is injected pc with ip settings 192.168.1.10 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
lan port do not respond on ip, led of lan port is off its lan 1(all leds are off) wifi led is off to wifi does not show up on wifi card of phone or pc. Router react on reset(reset and wps button) i now wait to see what happend after hard reset still

Second what i can try is these: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ac68u-lan-ports-not-working.70812/ this: "Besides trying a different AC/DC power adapter, leave it ON and unplug the adapter from the building power and let it chill out a good while. Also disconnect everything else connected to it. Maybe such power cycle/drain voodoo will affect it."

I will try that once more later, now roter was on for 3h now i came in and try again and again to turn on wifi on wifi button(that was the way first time to see wifi and to access on in otherwise didnt get it) and router did not reacted at all.I dont know what i to do..

So i bought router(maybe was broken than fixed i dont know that) by the low price so i meant i caught good win.I putted on table with pc checked wifi on pc see there is asus_something wifi so i didnt know what os is on router.I holded reset button and go on 192.168.1.1 and os loaded merlin wrt.Stock wrt for asus routers.I created user name and password.Go on upgrade on ip and try flash with ddwrt.I couldnt do didnt want router.I go i safe mode for asus and there flashed.DD wrt worked fine 2 days after that there is how i can tell unmemorysing to brick when i pool power cable. After that,later ,now no wifi led no lan led or access somehow on router or cfe mod.
