2. Set your router into recovery mode(rescue mode) by turning it off using the power button, than push and hold the reset button(the tiny little switch between the WAN and the USB ports) and turn on your device again. Keep pushing the reset button and wait until the power led will lights up and turns off again(actually it start to blink slowly, with a 25 seconds interval), now you can release the button.
This never happened. Power led is still solid rock from the beginning. Never starting to blink. I can wait 2 min holding the reset buton after turn on my router, same.
My RT-N18U enters recovery when I hold reset only about 5 seconds after powering it up.
Set static IP for your PC such as 192.168.1.2 and then try to access 192.168.1.1

Setting a static ip won't make a difference in entering recovery mode. If the power led never flashes I suspect the cfe is messed up. That's why I suggested serial recovery. Then he can see what the output is. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
When you say you tried reset with was how are you doing it?
Turn off the router. Hold in the wps button and turn the router on. Keep holding the wps till the power led flashes.
If that doesn't work, see what serial output shows.
Google dd-wrt serial recovery. I have the type of cable linked in there that I've found works the best. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

I have the same result when I turn on the router holding WPS or reset : no blinking, solid blue power led
I don’t know. Google uart to usb. I advised to get the one I linked. I didn’t say you had to get it from there. Get it from whoever can get it to you sooner. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
