RECOVERY PROCEDURE
Note: This procedure should be used only if attempts to download firmware to your Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router have been unsuccessful.
Dynamic and Static Addressing
IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are needed by network devices (such as your Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router, computer, and so forth), to identify and communicate with each other. When your computer is connected to your Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router, it does not have an IP address. Therefore, your Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router will “dynamically” assign this IP address.
As you perform the steps of this procedure, you will need to create a Static IP address for your computer. You must specifically designate this address, and prepare your router for firmware recovery. After you have successfully updated the firmware in your Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router, you will be asked to reset your computer to accept Dynamic IP Addressing.
