Did you forget the password for the router access?

 

You might be able to do a hard reset, usually a pin hole that does it and resets to factory defaults.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

When you say you couldn't get in do you mean you couldn't find it on the network? Cause you could have used a network scanner to find it and use that ip address you found to access the AP. An example would be an app called Fing that is on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store to scan your network and see what is connected locally. But if you reset the Asus router then when you turn it back into an AP then see if you can set a static ip on it that no device on your network currently uses.
