Firmware Restoration

Firmware Restoration is used on an ASUS Wireless Router that
failed during its firmware upgrading process. It uploads the
firmware 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 wireless router from the power source.
2. Hold the Reset button at the rear panel and simultaneously

re-plug the wireless router into the power source. Release the

Reset button when the Power LED at the front panel flashes

slowly, which indicates that the wireless 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 RT-AC66R Wireless

Router > Firmware Restoration.

IMPORTANT: Launch the rescue mode before using the
Firmware Restoration utility.
