How to use the OpenWrt [Recovery] system
- Connect your router (yellow port) with your PC with a LAN cable.
- Copy fullimage.img-SMP or fullimage.img-VPE as fullimage.img to the tftp server (e.g. TFTPD64) which listens on IP address 192.168.2.100.
- Turn off the router. Turn it on while pressing the reset button (next to the
power jack). Keep it pressed for about 5 seconds, then release it - LCD will show information about recovery mode selected. After successfull flash, LCD will show message to shutdown and restart router.
- Turn off the router, then turn it on again.
- You need to wait about two minutes. Then you can connect
to the router either with a browser - http://192.168.1.1 (or with ssh root@192.168.1.1).
