Try a factory reset and see, if it can be triggered externally

reset not working. Pressing the WPS button and powering on does not flash as per the procedure but the light stays on. Anyway thank you for the suggestions. If anybody wants to try this router, it is up for sale

Reconsider the pricing as its as good as a dead device!

Deal finalized with seller. Will do f2f deal and collect it from him.

If it's a slow flashing power light that may mean a recoverable Router.
Best of luck on the recovery @chetansha

change adaptor

i dont think it is the adapter, i checked on asus & snb forums, the wifi (channel 0) issue is known on these routers does not show MAC address for the wifi , also shows wifi as disabled,. but radio is enabled
