To launch rescue mode and use the Firmware Restoration utility:

2. While holding down the Reset button at the back of the wireless router, plug the

wireless router into a power source. Release the Reset button when the Power

LED at the front panel begins to ash slowly, which indicates that the wireless

router is in rescue mode.

3. Use the following to set up your TCP/IP settings:

IP address: 192.168.1.x
