Where did you get the router? I cannot see anything except North America only. Is there a security issue? <br />
<br />
When I click on the link for firmware, it makes me register with the serial number of the router. Have you tried that? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Here is the Amazon UK site for like routers<br />

Never flash your router for the first time via web console, It said so with red letters, always cable in and the 30/30/30 rule will always get you back from a brick situation to where you can reload the firmware. Just need patience.
