Sorry to inform you that there *exist* a utility to flash this
router-modem via the USB port. Only is it so that e-Tech no longer
want to distribute it. That's the reason I asked for it here.
Sending back the router to the manufacturer is not an option (to
expensive and for the price I can buy a new one). Also I'll *never*
buy again some stuff from E-Tech..
If it was (for instance) a Netgear this was not a problem..
Never e-tech again !
