Erasing the Configuration
It is sometimes desirable to restore the router to the original default settings. This can be done
using the Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the router's user
name will be admin, the password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.1.1, and
the router's DHCP server will be enabled.
To erase the configuration, click the Erase button.
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP
address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. See
Default Configuration and Password" on page
Upgrading the Router Software
Tip: To ensure you are always using the latest firmware, enable the Firmware Upgrade
Assistant feature so that the router will automatically detect a new version of the
firmware on the Internet and alert you to its availability.

Tip: Before upgrading the router software, use the router backup menu to save your
configuration settings. Any router upgrade will revert the router settings back to the
factory defaults. After completing the upgrade, you can restore your settings from
the backup.
