Use the Reset Button

CAUTION:
This process erases all settings that you configured in the router.
To reset the router to factory default settings:
1. On the back of the router, locate the Reset button to the right of the leftmost antenna.
The previous figure shows the antenna connectors rather than the antennas.
2. Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button for at least five seconds.
3. Release the Reset button.
The Power LED starts blinking amber and the configuration is reset to factory default settings. When
the reset is complete, the router reboots. This process takes about two minutes.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the reset. For
example, if you are connected to the router's web page, do not close the
browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn off the router. Wait until
the router finishes restarting and the Power LED turns solid white.
