After the reboot I browse again (with my static laptop IP 192.168.1.12) to address 192.168.1.1
After a while I receive the following messeage in the browserpage:
"Settings have been updated. Web page will now refresh. Changes have been made to the IP address or port number. You will now be disconnected from RT-N66U. To access the settings of RT-N66U, reconnect to the wireless network and use the updated IP Address and port number"
Is my IP number to access to router changed???
I switch Off the router and switch it On again.
The power led is blicking slow maining it's booting in recovery mode.
I browse to 192.168.1.1 again and come in to the ASUSTeK miniWeb Server mode.
From this stage, I try to go back to the original Asus firmware version 3.0.0.4.374.4561
I upload it from this CFE succefully, but after a reboot or reset it is only booting into this CFE miniWeb Server.
Before flashing that build, did you make sure which bootloader your router has? 32k nvram or 64k nvram?
Try the firmware restoration tool. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

Euh.. No, I did not check it
Is there still a way to find out now?
I guess, the firmware restoration tool is the one diliverd from original cd?
Wich firmware do I need to flash from this restoration tool in this situation?
Do a flash it with the router in recovery mode?
You can use any if te asus or RMerlin firmwares.
Then once back on stock flash the latest K3.X build. That way you don't need to worry about nvram.
After that use Kong's AC builds. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
Yes. Browse to the asus fw and flash it.
Then google rt-n66u dd-wrt and read the wiki page for that unit before you proceed.
You need more info before doing this again. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

Yes It works Thank you guys !!!
It was just a matter of time
Patience is the solution !!
The first firmware that succeeded was the Tomato version in 12 min (7mb)
Than I flashed the Merlin version (23mb). This took me 35 min!!
Then flashed the DDWRT version (9mb) in 17 min.
I've made my adjustments, but now I have problems receiving an IP address from my provider on the WAN port
I read somewhere that this is a known issue.
Need your help again guys how to fix this.
Now install this. http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC/23655/
Then telnet into the router and issue nvram erase, then reboot. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
Kong told me that the new routers could easily handle 360MB with ddwrt on it. But this one NOT!
I'm still hanging at 78MB With the original Asus firmware I get 120mb
K3.x builds are indeed slower (as download speed) than K26 builds. But change congestion control to cubic and see if that helps. _________________ 2 times APU2 Opnsense 21.1 with Sensei
