Resetting to Factory Defaults

There may be occasions when you need to reset your cable modem/router to
factory defaults, for example if you have changed the Username and Password
and lost the new values. Note that if you reset your device to its factory defaults,
you will lose any changes you have made to settings in the device.
To reset to factory defaults:
1.) Make sure the cable modem/router is powered on.
2.) Find the reset button on the rear of the unit. It is marked WPS/RESET.
3.) Press and hold the Reset button for at least 10 seconds.
4.) The device will flash its LEDs and commence a reboot sequence.
Note that you will have to manually re-enter any required changes.
