See that.

The reset button may not work.

You might have to recover via serial console or jtag

I don't think this is even available in the USA.

It looks like these are really touchy / flaky units

Might have to RMA the thing if you can't reset/recover.

This is what you have to do to reset the router.

1 hold the reset button for 40s then wait for 2mins.
2 After 2mins unplug the router then plug it back in.
3 Wait 3mins then connect the cat five cable to a lan port to you pc type 192.168.1.1 and you should be in. :D

when i thought my x-fta was bricked what i did was the 30/30/30. thats 1 min with reset being pushed with power, holding reset remove power and wait 1min, then holding reset pot power back on and hold reset 1 min. it took 2 or 3 times but did return to working.
