3. Push the reset button while replugin the power cord and hold the button for about 20 seconds.

4. Open your browser and open http://192.168.1.1

5. Use the firware upgrade dialog to flash vxworkskillerGSv7-v3.bin

6. After the dialog is shown that you need to plugoff the power cord, remove the power cord and replug it in.

7. Wait for about 2 minutes.

8. Plugoff the power cord again and replug it in.

9. Enter "tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin" on your local windows console and press enter (for linux, tftp 192.168.1.1; mode octet;put dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin).
