For the installation midge to your router, you should go by following steps:

See Download section

There is way to direct upload firmware over HTTP. But you can try

• Amilda middle firmware way
• HTTP Upgrade by Petr Novak way (very old and deprecated)

Currently you can upload firmware over serial console_cable (but i have plans to add web-upgrade support)

• Connect console cable to PC
• Start terminal program (minicom, HyperTerminal, etc)
• Setup 115200 8N1, no hardware handshaking
• Turn on power to the router
• On screen you will see prompt

  ADM5120 Boot:
  

• Quickly press space 3 times, you should see following menu:

  ADM5120 Boot: <--- press space 3x times
