Maybe your router doesn't have enough flash space to include that in the build.
Don't buy a router unless it has at least 16mb of flash.

For a k2.6 build most likely. I believe your unit is an arm cpu and if I'm not mistaken those are k3.X.

Set static IP on PC to 192.168.10.2, connect PC to lan port on router, plug in power. Navigate to https://192.168.10.1 and upload the stock firmware. When bricked the trendnets go into a recovery mode, set their IPs back to stock, and show a very basic webpage for uploading the stock firmware file (no password or anything needed, I have done this a few times on an 811dru). Note: only the stock firmware file from their webpage will flash this way.
