I tried to see if maybe the unit does get into rescue mode but the power LED just doesn't flash. But it didn't make a difference (either before or after update). I updated to that (49703, forgot what the old version was called). There was a ASUS firmware update available in the web panel. When the unit is running normally, holding it down for 5 seconds causes the device to reboot. The reset button seems to be functioning. This also allowed me to test attempting to get into rescue mode before/after doing a NVRAM reset, with no difference. I release the WPS button and it immediately reboots with the NVRAM cleared. My testing shows holding the WPS down causes the power LED to rapidly blink after 20-30 seconds. I read that the WPS and reset buttons can sometimes get mixed up. After holding down for a minute, the power LED turns off and the unit remains unresponsive until I reboot it again (whereupon it boots up fine into the ASUS firmware).įrom what I've read it should go into rescue mode after 5-10 seconds, however I've held the reset button for as long as a couple of minutes in different tests I've done. Official ASUS instructions to enter rescue mode are: " While pressing reset button, plug in AC power cord into back of unit, hold reset button until power LED slowly flashes and then release." It boots up and works fine with the supplied ASUS firmware (3.0.0.4.386_49703). Text imprinted on the back says it's model B1 though. I bought the router in used condition a week ago on ebay. I've run out of ideas of what I could be doing wrong! I am unable to get my AC66U_B1 into rescue mode in order to flash non-ASUS Firmware.
