Restoring The Default Configuration And Password - NETGEAR FVS318G - ProSafe Gigabit VPN Firewall Data Sheet Router Reference Manual

• If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the Account Name in the
Basic Settings menu.
• Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many
broadband ISPs restrict access by only allowing traffic from the MAC address of your
broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single
PC connected to that modem. If this is the case, you must configure your VPN firewall to
"clone" or "spoof" the MAC address from the authorized PC. Refer to

Restoring the Default Configuration and Password

This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the VPN
firewall's administration password to password and the IP address to 192.168.1.1. You can erase
the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:
• Use the Erase function of the VPN firewall (see
15).
• Use the reset button on the rear panel of the VPN firewall. Use this method for cases when the
administration password or IP address is not known.
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the administration password
or IP address, you must use the reset button on the rear panel of the VPN firewall.
To restore the factory defaults:
1. Press and hold the reset button until the Test LED turns on and begins to blink (about 10
seconds).
2. Release the reset button and wait for the VPN firewall to reboot.
