Help Reflashing RAX45 Over TTL - No Reset Button, No Ethernet Ports
Need some technical advice here, please! Need advice on how to flash or reset the RAX45 using a TTL to serial connection.
Background...
- The latest firmware for the RAX45 (1.0.10) bricked my router.
- The ethernet ports are not recognized when plugged into a computer.
- The power button is solid white. Not flashing.
- The reset button is not working. Holding for 30 seconds does nothing. Holding, then power cycling does nothing.
I've got a serial connection going to the motherboard. TLL to serial is great. I can see the boot-up sequence using Putty...but cannot send commands from Putty to the router. I've tried forcing echo, and need some other ideas.

Sounds like the router is just dead. Something to contact NG support and see what your options are:
