Just as the tutorial says, I held the reset button, powered on the router, waited for the power LED to start blinking once per second and then set my static IP as such: sudo ip a add 192.168.0.2/24 dev enp0s31f6. However, when accessing the router on 192.168.0.1, no page loads.

Finally solved it by putting a switch between the router and my PC. Probably some incompatibility between my NICs and the recovery mode.
