Restoring The Default Configuration And Password; Using The Reset Button - NETGEAR Wireless ADSL Modem Router Setup Manual

Restoring the Default Configuration and Password

This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the
router's administration password to password and the IP address to 192.168.0.1. You can erase the
current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:
• Use the Erase function of the Web Configuration Manager.
• Use the Reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases when the
administration password or IP address is not known.

Using the Reset Button

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the administration password
or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router.
1. Press and hold the Reset button until the Test LED turns on (about 10 seconds).
2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot.
