A TTY / Serial session via Ethernet? Sure, give it a shot. It has been noticed that there are different version of the Cudy AP3000 Outdoor 'in the wild' (not the Indoor, naturally, since it is the same MediaTek SoC). Some will automatically search for a 'recovery.bin' file (where it looks for a TFTP Server at 192.168.1.88, with the Cudy's IP being 192.168.1.112).

Now wait. And wait, and wait. Yes, the file is under 9 MB, but look up a couple of sentences and notice the speed things are transferring at. The SX Command will show "Progress". There will be no indication on the Serial / TTL session that anything is happening at all (but if your Serial USB device has LEDs, then they'll be blinking really fast or almost on solid showing a high transfer rate).

Now wait. And wait, and wait. Yes, the file is under 9 MB, but look up a couple of sentences and notice the speed things are transferring at. Oh, and remember the 'count-up' is in KB, not Bytes, so it's not going that slow. The SX Command will show "Progress".
