sdern, 
 
I found that my Asus RT-N16 may not be compatible with the Gargoyle Broadcom firmware upgrade. 
 
So indeed, it could have become bricked. 
 
FYI, the ASUS router has a recovery mode where we can un-brick it by using a utility provided by ASUS and installing another firmware. 
 
Thanks for your contribution and cheers,

Hi there, 
 
I just upgraded my Asus RT-N16 with the Gargoyle Broadcom firmware upgrade: 
gargoyle_1.2.5-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx 
 
I originally had DD-WRT installed on the router, so I upgraded directly from the firmware U.I. 
 
Once upgrade complete and router rebooted, DHCP does not work and even if I setup the PC's IP address manually, I still can't talk to the router. 
 
I then installed the ASUS utility and was able to install the Gargoyle firmware by using the Firmware Restoration utility. &nbsp;However, I still can't talk to it. 
 
I need to install the Gargoyle firmware utility to my Asus RT-N16 and be able to talk to it. 
 
Thanks for your help, 
Rene

Gargoyle Firmware upgrade for : Asus RT-N16

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
