Recovery mode
Recovery mode is a fail-safe mode where the router can load a default configuration
from the routers firmware. If your router goes into recovery mode, all config files are
kept intact. After the next reboot, the router will revert to the previous config file.
You can use recovery mode to manipulate the config files, but should only be used if all
other configs files are corrupt. If your router has entered recovery mode, contact your
local reseller for access information.
