Installation:

Asus windows recovery tool:
 - install the Asus firmware restoration utility
 - unplug the router, hold the reset button while powering it on
 - release when the power LED flashes slowly
 - specify a static IP on your computer:
     IP address: 192.168.1.75
     Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
 - Start the Asus firmware restoration utility, specify the factory image
    and press upload
 - Do not power off the device after OpenWrt has booted until the LED flashing.

TFTP Recovery method:
 - set computer to a static ip, 192.168.1.75
 - connect computer to the LAN 1 port of the router
 - hold the reset button while powering on the router for a few seconds
 - send firmware image using a tftp client; i.e from linux:
 $ tftp
 tftp> binary
 tftp> connect 192.168.1.1
 tftp> put factory.bin
 tftp> quit
