2. Connect to the device using an ethernet cable and manually set your IP address to 192.168.1.2.
3. Visit 192.168.1.1 in your browser and upload the image called openwrt-ar71xx-generic-gl-inet-6416A-v1-squashfs-factory.bin to the page and click 'Update firmware'. Wait for the device to reboot into the new firmware and do not turn it off.
