Flash instructions for web-based U-Boot recovery:
1. Power the device with WPS button pressed and wait around 10 seconds.
2. Setup static IP 192.168.1.2/24 on your PC.
3. Go to 192.168.1.1 in browser and upload 'recovery' image.
The device runs LEDE 17.01 (kernel 4.4.x) based firmware with 'failsafe'
mode available which allows alternative upgrade method:
1. Run device in 'failsafe' mode and change password for default user.
2. SSH to the device, transfer 'sysupgrade' image and perform upgrade
in forced mode, without preserving settings: 'sysupgrade -n -F ...'.
Other notes:
If you own early version of this device, the vendor firmware might
refuse OpenWrt image because of missing custom header. In that case,
ask vendor's customer support for stock firmware without custom header
support/requirement.
