Firmware Restoration
Firmware Restoration is used on an ASUS Wireless Router after a failed firmware
upgrade. This utility uploads a firmware file to the wireless router. The process takes
about three to four minutes.
To launch rescue mode and use the Firmware Restoration utility:
1. Unplug the wireless router from its power source.
. While holding down the Reset button at the back of the wireless router, plug the
wireless router into a power source. Release the Reset button when the Power
LED at the front panel begins to flash slowly, which indicates that the wireless
router is in rescue mode.
. Use the following to set up your TCP/IP settings:
IP address: 19.168.1.x
Subnet mask: 55.55.55.0
. From your computer’s desktop, click
Start > All Programs > ASUS Utility RT-N10U Wireless Router > Firmware
Restoration.
Launch rescue mode before using the Firmware Restoration utility.
The Firmware Restoration utility is not used to upgrade the firmware of a working ASUS Wireless
Router. Normal firmware upgrades must be done through the web GUI. Refer to Upgrading the
firmware on page  for more details.
