Installation via **recovery** mode:
1. Download the Asus recovery firmware (windows) tool from
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LiveUpdate/Release/Wireless/Rescue.zip
2. Set your ethernet IP manually 192.168.1.5 / 255.255.255.0 with NO
gateway.
3. Plug in your ethernet to LAN port 1 on the router.
4. Load up the recovery software with the firmware file, but don't press
"Upload" yet.
5. Plug in the router to power WHILE HOLDING the reset button in. While
CONTINUING to hold the button, select "Upload" Continue to hold the
reset button in until it finishes and verifies!
6. If that doesn't work try pressing "Upload" first just before you do
step 5. At some point while holding reset the rescue tool will finally
detect and upload the firmware. That's when you can let go of the
reset button.
7. The router will reboot and not much will happen. Wait a minute or 2.
8. Power off and on the router again. Voila. Set everything your Ethernet
IP back to DHCP (automatically) and you're good to go.
Revert to stock firmware:
1. Install stock image via recovery mode.
