[1] You can perform a factory reset of the router through the browser interface – see ADVANCED | Administration | Backup Settings | Revert to factory default settings | Erase

Download “RAX120-V1.0.1.118_BETA.zip” from here, extract the “RAX120-V1.0.1.118.img” file to your desktop, and then upload it to your router through the browser interface – see ADVANCED | Administration | Firmware Update | Locate and select the upgrade file on your hard disk
