Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2016 2:34 Post subject: AC66U Firmware access
Hello Ive recently flashed ddwrt onto an Asus AC66U and the router has automatically connected with my gateway from Comcast without having me input anykind of password which is odd since it is protected by wpa2. In addition, I cannot make changes to the routers behavior since I cannot seem to get into DDWRT from a wired connection, Ive tried using ipconfig /all to find the default gateway but it shows the gateway's ip. It also does not connect to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Any ideas/troubleshooting tips?
Your post was originally posted on the Atheros forum and it was later moved to the Broadcom forum by the moderator. Your original post on the Atheros forum was replaced by a link to here now and that link will be removed later.
First thing to do post-flash is to clear the AC66U's non-volatile ram.
Press the power button to turn the unit off.
Press and hold the WPS button, count to 5, keep holding.
Press the power button to turn the unit on.
Count to 5 and release the WPS button.

I hope you realize, by doing that type of reset, you will cause the 5 GHz WLAN to default to a 2.4 GHz Turbo QAM. AC will be disabled. ONLY do a GUI reset.
I dont have access to the gui though because I cant seem to connect to the default IP directly. I did refer to the link you posted. Thats the page I followed to install ddwrt and dont see any information there that could help me with this situation.
