Thanks for the quick reply, Piotr!

Is it possible to tell if failsafe will work by looking at the manifest? I am attaching it.

I'm asking because one thing I'm afraid of is bricking the router. I have no hardware skills, so if it can't be unbricked by software/ethernet connection, I'd just have to throw it away.
