Restoring the Router's factory settings
If you have made configuration settings on the router in error, with the result that you
can no longer access the router's configuration interface, you can reset the router to its
factory settings.
You may need to do this, for example, if you have forgotten your password, if you have
activated WEP encryption but have forgotten the key for configuring the network adapt-
ers, or if you activate the access control for wireless access to the local network but the
access list is empty (see page 64).
Remember that a complete router reset will reset all your configuration
!
settings to the factory settings. This means that you will have to reconfig-
ure your router from scratch.
To reset your router to its factory settings, proceed as follows:
u
Switch off the router by unplugging the power cord from it.
u
Press and hold down the reset button on the rear of the device.
u
Still holding the reset button, switch the router on again. Plug the power lead in
again as well.
u
Wait at least 7 seconds. Then release the reset button.
It will take a few seconds for the router to restart. You can now log on again and config-
ure the router once more.
