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.

Re: X-fta dongle does not reset
Has anyone figured out how to reset these? I think I have bricked and need to unbrick it.
Re: X-fta dongle does not reset
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.

Re: X-fta dongle does not reset
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.
