Download the router bin file to your desktop .
Disable your software firewall.
Plug a ethernet cable from any LAN port on the router to your pc's wired NIC.
Open network connections & click the Local Area Connection icon . You will then see the Local Area
Connection's status , click properties . Click on the Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) setting . Select Use the following IP address.
Type the IP address of 192.168.2.2 , Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 , Default Gateway 192.168.2.1 then click OK.
You can leave the Preferred DNS server settings blank . You may need to reboot for the changes to take affect .
Click Start then run . In the command prompt type cmd then select OK .
In the new window type tftp -i 192.168.2.1 put then drag the bin
file from the desktop into the new window , which will automatically enter the bin file name & location . Do not hit enter .
Unplug the router AC cord then plug back in & immediatly hit enter , or hold the rest button in for 3 seconds or more then release hitting enter as soon as you release the reset button.
