Hello,
I'll break my story into 3 parts, history, issue(s) and what I've tried, if you want to skim or just read ahead.
My life's story
About 8 years ago I started out with an AC68U. I used Asus and Merlin firmware on it. Two years ago when I moved into a bigger place I got an AC86U to put both into AiMesh mode. At the time Merlin didn't have AiMesh capability so I flashed it (AC68U) with stock Asus firmware, updating regularly, but skipping every few updates, TBH.
For the...
RT-AC86U - no lights (except port 4), no connectivity
