I own an ASUS RT AC1200 wireless router that has been working wonderfully for 1.5 years. Last night I was fiddling with the settings via the control panel (accessible through http://router.asus.com) and it gave me a warning that I should upgrade the firmware version. I followed the steps, and now I'm on firmware 3.0.0.4.380_10574
Everything seemed to work fine, as if it had been restored to its factory settings. However, I don't get connection to the internet because of this issue:
I then tested my modem's internet connection via Ethernet, and it worked just fine. I do have internet connection; It's my router that's not connecting. I followed the troubleshooting steps, but got stuck on the "trying to detect the connection type" screen repeatedly for about 15 minutes at a time with no resolution:
As a networking newbie, what are my choices here? I tried resetting the router multiple times, to no avail. Are there manual settings I can input in the control panel so I don't have to rely on my router "detecting" my connection type for half an eternity?
