If the webUI does not automatically go back to the Setup -> Basic Setup page, or does not stop at the progress bar page to allow you to click Continue after waiting at least five minutes (i.e. if you get a "Connection Reset" or other error page in your browser), enter http://192.168.1.1 (or whatever your router IP address is) manually or click and hold the "Back" button and select the appropriate history entry.

[edit] Revert To Stock Firmware

 **NOTE**:  DD-WRT 58283 OR NEWER REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED ON ROUTER.

1. Download the applicable OEM firmware image from MR7350 Downloads
2. Upload factory firmware .img file to the router's /tmp folder using an scp client.
3. SSH or Telnet into the router's console and cd to /tmp.
4. Do #ls -lart to make sure the file you just uploaded is present.
   • Using the -lart flags will sort your newly uploaded factory firmware file to the bottom of the output list.
5. Check to see which boot partition you are on by issuing:

   #fw_printenv -n boot_part

 **NOTE**:  If the file is not present when you run the following command, you will get a segmentation fault.

6. Flash factory image.
   • If the boot partition is 1, issue the following:

   mtd -e linux2 -f write factoryfilename.img linux2

   • If the boot partition is 2, issue the following:

   mtd -e linux -f write factoryfilename.img linux

 **NOTE**:  If you see this error, you can ignore it:

Warning unaligned data, we use manual padding to avoid errors. size was 131072!!!

7. Once completed you need to change your boot partition to where you just flashed the factory firmware.
   • If you flashed to linux2, then set it to 2; If you flashed it to linux, set it to 1.

   fw_setenv boot_part 1|2

 **NOTE**:  If you wish to flash both partitions via CLI, you may do so; or you can flash the other via Linksys WebUI after reboot.

8. Reboot.
