2.7 Reset Functions

Before initiating a factory reset on the router, consider creating a backup of its configuration.
The RST button serves three different purposes:
• Reset: Hold the RST button for less than 4 seconds; the router will reboot, applying its customized
configuration. You can also trigger the router reset by selecting the Reboot menu option in the router
web GUI.
• Factory Reset: To restore the router to its default factory configuration, press and hold the RST
button for more than 4 seconds. The PWR LED will turn off and then back on. It's recommended to
hold the RST button for an additional 1 second after the PWR LED comes on.
• Emergency Factory Reset: If the router fails to boot due to incorrect configuration, power off the
router by disconnecting its power supply. Then, while holding the RST button, power on the router
and continue holding the RST button for at least 10 seconds. This action will reset the router's
configuration to the default settings.
Use a narrow screwdriver or any small tool to press the RST button.
