Unbrick / Recover ASUS Routers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- I'm a dumb fool and bricked my ASUS Router, specifically a RT-N66U. In the video I use the ASUS Utility while the router is in recovery mode by holding the reset button while plugging/powering the router.
Confirmed Supported Models:
RT-AC66U
RT-N65U
RT-N66U
RT-N16
RT-N10U B
RT-N12HP
RT-N56U
DSL-N55U
Fucking hell man I love the fucking tutorial it was lit af have my children
Fucking love you. Saved my router and my family
I do your tutorial 7 times... doesn't work, even when I wait 1 hour on my RT-AC66R. But after I do this steps, it WORKED! So I'll leave the URL here to help anyone wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Asus_RT-AC68U#Original_Firmware_Install_Procedure . This ASUS way to routers' rescue mode is unbelievable insane. I always spent my hole day trying the resurrection. I already boxed it for years, one time it worked with DD-WRT, many times not... few times with original firmware, a lot of times not. But I had and try to use it since 2012, it almost 10 years and still better performance than a lot of cheap routers.
Thank you very much for providing the link....saved my router. Also big thanks to the video uploader....as I found this helpful comment in this video.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank youi!!! I bricked my RT-N66U over a year ago while trying to do a firmware change to DD-WRT. It was sitting in the box & forgotten until I came across it recently. On a whim, I Googled "bricked ASUS RT-N66U" & came across your tutorial. I followed your instructions to the letter & the router has been resurrected!!!
It took over 35 minutes to perform the "system recovery" (this is in addition to the ~20 minutes for the firmware upload) & then I got the "Failed to connect to router" message. I didn't freak out as the indicator bar did go to 100%. However, unlike in your tutorial, right after the "system recovery" completed, the power light on my router went out. But the connection indicator light was still on & steady. When the power light went on & the connection light & the Wi-Fi indicators started to blink after ~30 minutes, I figured it was time to check the router. Lo & behold, it was alive!
For those attempting this fix -- be patient. Let the router sit there for awhile after performing the steps indicated. YMMV.
erdoc200 much love bruh
You're fucking amazing.
Holy frozen frog shit you saved my God damn router. I thought this little shit was fucked and I was going to have to walk over to bestbuy and have them ram me for another $300 router.
You are correct. It will show fail at the end of the 100% recovery process. Just leave the router alone and it will reboot over the next few hours and it will have the new firmware loaded. This is a complete failure by ASUS for firmware recovery. He is right...you must be patient. Ignore the failure indicators at the end. It means nothing. Also the latest firmware by ASUS prevents loading Merlin or any prior version of the firmwares. Another major mistake by them.
Thanks! i had to be /very/ patient... took my router 50 mins to finally reboot after flashing.
ArticSpy this is the key detail I wanted to make very clear in the video. glad it worked out bb!
same for me. i reckoned half an hour would of been plenty after restoration firmware software said 'wait for system to reboot' and figured it failed. so tried a few times and then gave up. but leave the thing and it will do a reboot eventually - it seems..
Works on RT-N12! Thanks for the tip that no other guide, including ASUS step by step, mentioned. “4:30 - Disable other ethernet profiles.”
This video has saved my routers on more than one occasion, thanks a lot.
It worked bro, thank you. You just need to have patience I waited for 20 minutes and it went back to normal.
Good stuff. I had a DD-WRT upgrade go sideways. Was thinking I was gonna have to JTAG it. Thanks!
my router is showing all light on. doesn't show up by ethernet or wifi. doesn't reset. what should i do??
am I the only one that was laughing through this whole video? your commentary was funny
+The Real BeanJr thx bro im a real troll at heart
В натуре факинг, хер как войти в этот режим рекавери. Лампочка моргает, а толку 0. Пинг тоже не идет.
Most entertaining router video ever. You're a funny dude
thy only give me so meny days off i cant be arst doing shit ararararararrarararara
Holy shit thank you
RT-N56U, piece of shhit garbage stopped working, done this reset a dozen times. recovered the system and all that crap. And the idiot in me forgot the WAIT for it to reboot. Waiting helped, thanks mate. Great tut
+Techrodd Studios included those special instructions just 4 u bb ;0
ty bbi
cmd keeps giving me "reply from 192.168.1.2: Destination host unreachable."
"request timed out" over and over again, I typed exactly what you did.
Did you wait long enough for the router to finish flashing? Like I mentioned in the video it can take up to 30-90min to complete flashing once it gets to 99/100%. If the light is still blinking on the device and it made it through the flash just WAIT until it goes solid. If not, there's not much I can say at that point.
Cool man, your are right!!!
Thank You... Thank You... My Asus RT-N66U cameback from the dead. The Key are "Waiting & Patient". :-D
Your commentary is funny, but I would be laughing if my router isn't in a destroyed state. Thanks for the video though.
3 days of frustration, on phone with Asus support, NOBODY TOLD ME TO JUST FREAKIN WAIT!... IT WORKS!... I SAT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, FINALLY REBOOTED! THANKS!
THANK YOU TIMES 10000000000000. I looked up so many tutorials for how to flash my asus router, it didnt end up working and I semi-bricked my router. I looked up even more tutorials to try and fix that. I stumbled across your video and your instructions worked like a charm!!! 100% works! Now just need to reconfigure my WAN network on my slave router....
22.october 2018. still vorks, thanks man!!!
This is a great video! I bricked my RT-AC66R upon a failed dd-wrt install. Had to press WPS button + Reset for 5 seconds before turning on the unit to enter Recovery mode. Somehow the buttons get swapped or take on different roles. And be patient people!
I did the steps and apparently it succeeded. Now the LAN light turns off and on for a second every now and then. Should I keep waiting? Been waiting 30min now.
Thank you! I thought my n66u was bricked but I just didn't give it enough time after the fail message after the system update. Took about 20-30 minutes after that and then it started kicking again.
Excellent instructions and bad mouth, hahaha. After trying to watch two Silent Bobs moving the mice around this is a Great! Hope you're making more videos.
i gotta to admit your video is so funny.. HAHAHAHAH.. dont freak out DONT FREAK OUTTT!!! HAHAHAA this video made my day
Just bought ASUS RT-N14u and your video helped me so much!
PS. After upgrading to the newest software (suggested by router itself), it didn't want to cooperate.
Thanks
Help, I just bought this today and straight of the box the wan and lan port 4 lights constantly come on without any lead attached. and the modem cannot recognise the router, please help
Not only was this video helpful, but I also laughed my ass off while watching it...
This worked for me, Good job mate. Quite charismatic too!
Awesome man. Thanks for the video. It saved me from throwing $300 router in trash.
Hey, I really like your style. I only had to watch a minute and a half to know exactly what to do. Thanks man.
Thanks Bro! It actually worked on my ASSUZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
I just bricked my RT5300, fml!!
In my case, the process on system recovery fails at 1%, what can i do please?
It actually worked. And I thought the whole time you're just on drugs.

thanks you saved my ass
thank you so much. thought the best router i ever owned was lost.
Thank you very much. Totally worked.
Why I keep getting it canceled half through the process
Just follow the instructions in the video. If it looks like it stops, let it sit for at least an hour or two. That's what happens to me and others, it just depends on your model.
Thanks man! I spent all night trying to get my router to work after a stupid Asus firmware thing bricked it. Your video helped a lot!
i am just a simple space queen love u.
Thank you very very much
Man what a......
Didn't even brick my router. Stumbled onto this while looking to solve something else but stayed anyway because I enjoyed the commentary.
how did you enjoy that? appreciate ya nonetheless homie
You remind me of egoraptor haha
Can’t believe this still works in 2018 but all your steps worked and I’m at the final stage where I have to wait for my asus to finish rebooting. I got questions tho. While rebooting is the power and line 1 supposed to flash still? I did the ping in cmd and I got a reply back but it says “192.168.1.2 destination host unreachable “ but the pinging with 192.168.1.1 32bytes of data.
Nvm I just had to put the correct number instead so I think I’m just playing the waiting game rn, currently been 15 mins for the rebooting of flashing lights
hope it worked for ya bro
uhh shiet it still broken for some reason but ill try again today!!!
Thank you! You’re the best!!
Really nice! It helped a lot!
I fucking love this guy
i love you.
my hero!!!!!
legend
what do you smoke :)
green goo
You are literally my new best friend
+Blake Badgley i love you
Legend!
Man you made my day
Thank you a lot
thank you mate!
Dude should be on Ativan
Love you babe.
Thanks man!!
It's been a half hour and the power light isn't on yet.
I'd say give it at least an hour or two if you saw the firmware upload complete, it should boot up at some point.
+chemiicaLL thanks man, it came back up after over an hour. that was nerve-wracking. have you flashed a custom firmware on yours?
I had a lot of luck with DD-WRT on the N66U. My new AC66U however seems to have issues with the 5Ghz band when on DD-WRT and since flashing it has been flaky on the wireless availability so I've been meaning to RMA it as I feel all the DD-WRT shit fucked with it.
please use less drugs and less bullshit language
Worked like a charm. You da man.
so funny video XD lmao
