(2) Start device into config/maintenance mode: in this precise order, unpower device,

configure PC into static IP 192.168.1.3 Netmask 255.255.255.0
press and maintain reset button
plug device in, release reset button as soon as LEDs blink (please wait 20-30 seconds)
(note 1: LED blink pattern is different depending on device: Sometimes a single LED blinking 3/4
on, 1/4 off, sometimes two LEDs blinking "sideways")
(note 2: the static-IP connection to the device must be established before it boots into config
mode. It was tricky rebooting the device fast enough that the PC connection did not go down.
YMMV.)

(3) TFTP the AirOS 5.5.x firmware into the device:

tftp 192.168.1.20

(note: use this IP regardless of what firmware is already on the device)
