+The following steps will serve an openwrt fimrware image to the device:
+   - download an appropriate firmware file (e.g. ''openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr842n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin'')
+   - create a symlink or rename the file: ''ln -s openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr842n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin wr842ndv1_tp_recovery.bin''
+   - configure the static IP ''192.168.1.66'' for your local ethernet interface
+   - connect your computer to one of the LAN ports of the router
+   - install a tftpd server (e.g. ''atftpd'')
+   - run the tftpd server and let it serve the directory that contains the above firmware image: ''atftpd --no-fork --daemon FIRMWARE_DIRECTORY''
+   - the router immediately starts to download the firmware image
+   - after some time you will see all LEDs flashing once followed by a normal restart of the router

 [[doc:howto:generic.failsafe|Failsafe]] may not work in Backfire before [[https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/29661|r29661]], so it's confirmed to **not work** at Backfire 10.03.1 launch (r29592). Be extremely cautious on what you're doing or go directly to [[#serial|serial]] recovery.
+Note for MR-3220 running on 12.09-rc1 (r34185): I did not get any UDP packets to port 4919 as promised either when connected to LAN or WAN, however repeatedly pushing the front button made the router to enter the failsafe mode, which allowed me to gain again access to the router. The problem almost bricking my router was in my network configuration, for some reason setting a fixed MAC address for a bridge caused the router to hang at /etc/init./network start.
