At the end pressing the reset button for so much time factory reset everything and even the firmware upgarde worked after that.

DaneArouter is now directly connected to the PC, I cleared browser's cache and still did not not work. I am going to try the TFTP way. If that does not work either I will have to factory reset the unit and give it a go hopefully all this at the end wont brick the device.
