As reported by cdkiller here

To restore original firmware disconnect all the cables except the one you will use on your computer doing the restore. Preferably set a static IP on your computer. Unplug the router power cable, press and hold the reset button and while holding it insert the power cable. Keep holding the reset button until the power LED starts to blink slowly, then you can release it. This means the router is in recovery mode. You can either TFTP a new firmware to it, or load the ip into a web browser to get the recovery interface, or you can use the ASUS firmware restoration Utility.

I recommend you to use the ASUS firmware restore utility, the instructions on how to use are in the manual and you can download the restore utility from the RT-N10 page on ASUS website.
