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 back side and simultaneously

press the power switch to power off the wireless router. 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-N53 Wireless

Router > Firmware Restoration.

IMPORTANT: Launch the rescue mode before using the

Firmware Restoration utility.
