Did you remove the chip before flashing or perform on-board? Curious where (what reference) information you found about gigabyte chip re-flashing? I suspect you're super close, but being off just one byte causes failure which is why I bought a replacement chip. Did you use FD44Editor to update/verify MAC, UUID etc? Its been a while since I've looked into this. May says it does, but somehow the memory address you've edited isn't right. The programmer you have needs to support the model chip you are re-programming. Was that ever updated? I would caution against updating this. It seems like you had other problems if the back up BIOS could not repair the issue. I needed updated CPU support for a newer PCIe 3.0 card. And I wasn't flashing just because it was available. Asus promised "crashfree" with the ability to recover using the MB CD, and although I had backed up my BIOS, flashed in DOS, was connected to UPS (took all precautions), the flash said it was successful, but wasn't and rendered my system a brick. This can be set up to either allow only certain devices to access the wireless network, or denying access to particular devices by the device’s unique MAC (Physical) Address. Txt to upload it, just make sure to change to no file extension or it wont work. If you downloaded attached file, put in root of your sdcard, open it and edit MAC address to what you want and save it without any file extension, I had to put as.

This will be your MAC address, change it to what you want your MAC address to be and save the file. That failure & result is the reason I left Asus after 13 yrs. I have the same 88 88 88 88 87 88 MAC on the intel NIC of my #2 Asus system because of a BIOS flash failure / chip replacement. Great effort but it sounds like you edited something incorrectly.
