Yes you need to be a little tech savvy to do this. However it should not take "hours". I'm in the IT field and my first time it took about 30 mins from start to end and that included waiting for the router to reboot, etc
Though my unit looked like new it was not even hard reset and 5ghz frequency didn't work with all options tried. Ended up returning and purchased brand new.
As the router is pretty solid, this thread will also shortly fp.
These are USED (not refurbished, but used--some are getting power supplies that don't work, units that don't work, units covered in scratches, etc.)
I flashed them to ac68u and could not stop getting network disruptions. This was with wireless backhaul, and the most recent instructions, including using aimesh cfe.
Ended up restoring them and returning.
Signal strength was not as good as my r6700, for sure.

(What worked for me: unplug power then plug power in and push power button while holding reset, and keep holding reset down for ~10secs while the router boots)
If you want updates (why wouldn't you), my suggestion would be to flash this. I ordered another one recently when ebay 20% off coupons were popping around. I will probably replace the POS Verizon Quantum Gateway with new one. (5GH keeps getting bonked out and have to re-connect)
