Failed firmware, broken router

[neophred]

Continuation of my misadventures with this "router" : updating to latest asus firmware failed, power light starts blinking slowly (which means failure while updating). Why did it fail, no idea !

Then I'm supposed to press the restore button for more than 5 seconds and so I do, nothing happens. I don't feel any change when pressing the button (no click) so I press a little harder : button breaks into the router and is now inside !!!!!!!!!!!!! ROUTER BUST !

What to do now ?

Hello,

please use the search-function.

You can use the Firmware restauration tool, delivered with the router.
