If the led at the top is blinking white, it means its in factory default mode and needs to be setup.&nbsp;

I tried directly connecting to the router using ethernet cable but couldn't connect. So, what is the best way to hard reset or apply the latest firmware? Can I upgrade firmeware using USB?

If you can't get in, then it'd be using tftp or nmrpflash.&nbsp; Can I upgrade firmeware using USB?---No, you can't upgrade over usb.&nbsp;
