1. Set your Device to have a static IP address in 192.168.1.0/24 which is not 192.168.1.1.

2. Press and hold the reset button while powering on the device. Wait until the Status LED is Orange and WPS LED green

3. Connect your Computer to the LAN port of the router.

4. Open a Browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.1/

NOTE: The page might look slightly different depending on the version of the bootloader.

5. Upload the OpenWrt factory image and wait until the device displays the Confirmation Page.

6. Wait till the device has started OpenWrt. This usually takes around 2 minutes.

7. Upload the sysupgrade image using scp form your computer. Assuming your terminal is in the directory where the file is located named gluon.bin

scp -O -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null gluon.bin [email protected]:/tmp/gluon.bin

8. Flash the upgrade using sysupgrade. You can execute on a local terminal

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null [email protected] "/sbin/sysupgrade -n /tmp/gluon.bin"

The following message can be safely ignored.

Command failed: ubus call system sysupgrade { "prefix": "\/tmp\/root", "path": "\/tmp\/gluon.bin", "command": "\/lib\/upgrade\/do_stage2", "options": { "save_partitions": 1 } } (Connection failed)
