If you followed all the steps correctly, Ethernet LEDs should start lighting up and turning OFF one after the other, from WAN port to LAN1 port. This means that the router is in the bootloader menu state. If that is not the case, repeat the steps again.
If you followed all the steps correctly, all panel LEDs should light up. This means that the device is in the bootloader menu state. If that is not the case, repeat the steps again.
Regardless of what the router's IP address was before, the IP address of the router when it's in the bootloader menu state is always <b>192.168.1.1</b>. So in order to reach the router, you'll have to set up a static IP address that's in the <b>192.168.1.0/24</b> network (fox instance, 192.168.1.2) on your computer.
