Unbrick procedure

 * Connect router to PC via serial (CH340, PL2303, etc.)
 * If you don't know GND, RX, TX see below image. YOU DON'T NEED VCC!!!


 * Before power up, press RST/WPS button and hold it, then connect the power.
 * You should hold RST/WPS for about 15 secs since you connected the power,
 * in order to enter "disaster mode".


 * Connect cable between WAN1 port and your computer network card.
 * For that connection set IP 192.168.1.100, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
 * - you don't need to fill out gateway.


 * Download Tftpd32/Tftpd64 from here: tftpd32 download
 * (In my case I've used the portable version of Tftpd64 - v4.62)


 * Open Tftpd32/Tftpd64; Server interfaces → select your connection,
 * the one with IP 192.168.1.100.
