Factory Reset

Example: If you forget the password of your router's configuration interface, you can do a factory reset

to return the settings to the factory defaults.

Note: Performing a factory reset will erase all current settings, and this action cannot be undone.

Step 1: With the unit on, use the end of a paperclip to press the reset button for seven seconds, which

is located inside a small hole on the base of the unit. The power light on the front of the router will turn

orange to indicate that the unit is restarting.

Step 2: The unit will reboot automatically. Once the power light stops blinking, the unit has been reset

and is ready to use. Resetting the router does not reset the firmware to the previous version,

but it will change all settings back to factory defaults.

Note: The password for the Administrator (Admin) account will be reset to the default. When logging in

for the first time after resetting your router, leave the Password field blank and click Log In.
