Hi,So do the same rules apply for re-flash as DDwrt? 30-30-30? Or is it safe to just re-flash without doing a reset?
WPS button: pressing the Red WPS button while power-up, will clear the NVRAM. All settings are stored in NVRAM of this ASUS router. Clearing the NVRAM is the most efficient way to reset the router to default settings.
Hi,
There is no 30-30-30 thing on the Asus RT-N66U device.
A reset (before and after flashing) is still a good idea if you come from or go to a different firmware or you do a firmware jump over multiple version.
On the DD-WRT wiki page for the RT-N66U the functionally of the hardware buttons explains the reset procedure:
With kind regards

Hi,A reset puts the router in recovery mode, is there anything else to do after its in this mode or do I just leave it.
Hi,
Do you have any specific need to go to the recovery mode?
Nobody asked you to do so...
With kind regards
Joe
PS.: In recovey mode you have to use Firmware Restoration Utility from Asus to install firmware.
But again: You do not need to go down this route...
