1. Download and unzip the file from here.
2. Download the latest firmware from the official website and rename it to 'recovery.bin'. Note: You must put it in the same file of Tftpd tools.
3. Power off your Router. Unplug the power adapter or press the POWER button.
4. Connect your computer the Router's LAN port with an Ethernet cable.
Note: Only one model is an exception: the TR1200. The WAN port must be connected during firmware recovery. All other models use the LAN port.
5. Configure your computer's IP address to be '192.168.1.88' manually.
6. Run 'tftp32.exe'.
7. Run 'netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off' in the command line to disable Windows firewall, otherwise tftp will be blocked. Or you can disable the firewall on the Control Panel of your computer. As shown below.
8. Press the 'Reset' button/hole and hold it. Before the Router is powered on and before tftp start to download the firmware, don't release the 'Reset' button/hole.
9. Power on the Router.
10. When the Lights are all flashing fast, or when tftp start to download the firmware, you can release the 'Reset' button/hole.
11. When the light flashes slowly, the upgrade is complete.
12. Please recover your computer's IP address to be dynamic IP.
13. Done.

Hello, I have a problem with the WR1500. It updated to the latest firmware from 2.3.3 to 2.3.10 and now the router is no longer responding. The LED stays red and the router restarts. I tried tftp recovery on the WAN and LAN ports, but nothing happened.
I hope you can help me. Thank you very much.
@Dear m00se,
Sorry, I think the router is faulty. We don’t have the solution to such a problem.
“Is there any solution for “Invalid board info!” on M1800 ?”

@Dear Miquel,
Yes, support.
“Good morning,
I would like to know whether the AP3000 Wall model supports TFTP recovery in the same way as the WR3000 model.
Kind regards.”
