DSL-N12U Chapter 5: Installing the utilities
Firmware Restoration
Firmware Restoration is used on an ASUS Wireless ADSL Router that failed during
its rmware upgrading process. It uploads the rmware that you specify. The
process takes about three to four minutes.
Note: This is not a rmware upgrade utility and cannot be used on a working ASUS Wireless
ADSL Router. Normal rmware upgrades must be done through the web interface. Refer to
Chapter 4: Conguring via the web GUI for more details.
To launch the rescue mode and use the Firmware Restoration utility:
1. Unplug the wireless router from the power source.
2. Hold the Restore button at the rear panel and simultaneously re-plug the
wireless router into the power source. Release the Restore button when the
Power LED at the front panel ashes slowly, which indicates that the wireless
router is in the rescue mode.
3. From your computer’s desktop, click Start > All Programs > ASUS Utility >
DSL-N12U Wireless ADSL Router > Firmware Restoration.
Important: Launch the rescue mode before using the Firmware Restoration utility.
4. Specify a rmware le, then click Upload.
