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.
