I tried following the instructions from this post, and it didn't work for me. However, the Asus Firmware Restoration app worked fine, and I used it to upgrade my router to asuswrt-merlin (the built-in firmware upgrade interface also failed when I tried to go to asuswrt-merlin).
Asus Utilities For Mac Os
after i spooned my asus a couple of months ago, i found this page and some advice on the SBN forums.. the problem was caused by the tomato router firmware i tried uploading didn't work and it didnt reboot or come back correctly and the reset didnt work because i think the tomato web updater messed up

Many thanks for your post Chris. I tried to update an rtn53 with the latest trx file from the asus site using the router's web based firmware update panel on linux/firefox and bricked it. Your procedure worked for me to recover.
When in the finder, hit command comma to bring up the finder prefs and make sure that "CD's and DVD's" is checked to show on the desktop.Another thing to check is to see if it's even showing up in the "Computer" folder of the finder. With a disk inserted, hit command, shift, C to go to the root of the computer. Here is where you'll see any drives that are connected and accessible. Check and see if the drive is there.If this doesn't work, head over to disk utility. From the finder, hit command, shift, U to bring up utilities and select "Disk Utility."In that list, you will see any drive and volume that is currently connected to the system, even if it might not be directly accessible from the finder.Hopefully, this will show the drive.If this doesn't work, any diagnostics from here on out is far above my head. I hope someone can chime in and continue to point you in the right direction.Hopefully, this at least gives you a few beginning steps to try before moving on to the really geeky stuff.Good luck.
Drivers are the files that allow external hardware to work. Sometimes they include mini-applications or utilities, and sometimes there are panes in System Settings. But in all cases, they include files stored in several different places on your Mac. That means that uninstalling them manually can be time-consuming. However, you should still remove them to avoid possible conflicts with other software and to free up space.
If you needed a single tool to do this nmap/zenmap is a good option. You'll probably want to scan your entire ip address range, and this may take a while but once thats done. All the entries look similar - 192.168.1.1 is my main router, and 192.168.1.19 is the secondary router set as an AP. The MAC address should help work out which device specifically is the asus - It should start with AC: as with mine. 2ff7e9595c
