Perform a hard rest with the following steps;

Why not you try hard factory reset of the router with the following method;

1. Turn the router off.
2. Press and hold the "WPS" button and turn the router on.
3. Power light is on (keep holding the WPS button).
4. Release the WPS button after the power light is off.
5. Reboot your router by manually pressing the power button.

Hope it help.

Also note that you need to include the DNS server in in your windows networking setting if you are using static IP address. From your image I can see the DNS server is blank.

already tried that hard reset but seems not to work the led lights still switching from power led to lan led. i will try to put dns server when set to static...maybe may last resort is thru the usb to ttl...like what posted here in rt-ac5300. reset button not working tried the recovery mode. it says sauccessful but it seem not to work...

1. Turn the router off.
2. Press and hold the "WPS" button and turn the router on.
3. Power light is on (keep holding the WPS button) then it will start to blink...
4. open command prompt then ping the router
5. open another command prompt the type tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put c:\GT-AC5300_3.0.0.4_384_82037-g0cfb8f0_cferom_ubi.w (c:\ locations of the firmware i upload) then wait to reboot...


Hope it help.
