Asus RT-AC87U Router Problem

[barndoor]

Hi,
I’ve just reset my Asus RT-AC87U to use as a repeater, which seemed to go ok, then updated the firmware, got a message saying do a manual restart, which I did, but now it will not boot up to anything, just got a red light on the WAN LED, can anyone help please, I’ve some experience with routers, any help would be great, thanks.

Do firmware recover to put it back to factory defaults, I recommend Merlin custom firmware v384.5 for this router, as I have one too.
