-The router did not respond. Try rebooting the device and run `nmrpflash` again.
-You could also try running `nmrpflash` with `-m` and specify your router's
-MAC address. It's also possible that your device does not support the NMRP protocol.
+The router did not respond. Always run `nmrpflash` in the following
+manner:
+
+* Turn off the router.
+* Run `nmrpflash`.
+* Turn on the router.
+
+If that still doesn't work, you can try "blind mode", which can be
+invoked using `-B`. Note that you also have to specify your router's
+mac address using `-m xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx`.
