How to test a WR31 router step by step.
Page | 11
1. Using a thin screwdriver or a paperclip, keep the reset button pressed. Be careful to press soft,
but firm.
2. Insert the power lead – note that this is a locking barrel connector. It needs to be aligned
carefully and then twisted to prevent it from coming detached.
3. Keep the reset button held in for 10 full seconds. (When you let go of the reset button there
should be no change of the LED status – if there is you have not held it in for long enough.)
4. Within 15 seconds, insert the USB lead (that already has the other end connected to the PC)
into the WR31. At this point the PC should detect the WR31 and may need to install some USB
drivers. Wait for the PC to do this. (If nothing happens on the PC, then it may be that the reset
button was not held in for long enough, go back to step 1 and try again.)
5. Whilst the reset button is held, click OK in FlashWriter
6. If successful, you should be prompted to enter the 6 digit serial number. (Refer to the label
under the WR31 to find the serial number. Please ignore a leading ‘S’).
Please ensure that you enter the correct serial number as a wrong serial number would cause
a wrong MAC-Address!
