Firmware Restoration
Firmware Restoration is used on an ASUS ADSL router that failed
during its rmware upgrading process. It uploads the rmware
that you specify. The process takes about three to four minutes.
To launch the rescue mode and use the Firmware Restoration
utility:
1. Unplug the ADSL router from the power source.
2. Hold the Reset button at the rear panel and simultaneously
re-plug the ADSL router into the power source. Release the
Reset button when the Power LED at the front panel ashes
slowly, which indicates that the ADSL router is in the rescue
mode.
3. Use the following to set up your TCP/IP settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.x
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
4. From your computer’s desktop, click
Start > All Programs > ASUS Utility > DSL-N12U ADSL
router > Firmware Restoration.
IMPORTANT: Launch the rescue mode before using the
Firmware Restoration utility.
