Firmware recovery on the RV180x is possible and in fact simpler than on previous models. This also works on the RV130x but the web page looks slightly different. This is for when the RV180W is alternating flashing of the System and Wireless lights, an indicator that it has failed to boot the firmware on the device. The firmware recovery page is only accessible when the Power and Wireless lights are flashing in an alternating pattern. The RV180 does not have a wireless LED, so the Power light will have a once per second blink with no alternating light.

 

  1. Set a static IP address on a directly connected PC in the 192.168.1.x \24 network and go to the default IP address of the router: 192.168.1.1 in your web browser.
  2. Click on Chose file and select the firmware image from your computer.
  3. Click on update software, you will get a notification that the device will reset. THIS WILL RESET THE DEVICE TO FACTORY SETTINGS
  4. You will be directed to a page with a progress bar, this can take as long as 10-15 minutes to finish as the process is different than a normal firmware upgrade.
  5. Congratulations! You can now access your RV130x or RV180x device again!
