Pressing the Reset Button and holding it in for a few seconds will clear all
of the Router's data and restore the factory defaults. This should be done
only if you are experiencing heavy routing problems, and only after you
have exhausted all of the other troubleshooting options. By resetting the
Router, you run the risk of creating conflicts between your PCs' actual IP
Addresses and what the Router thinks their IP Addresses should be. You
may be forced to reboot each network PC.
If the Router locks up, simply press the reset button or power it down for
three to five seconds by removing the power cable from the Router's
Power Port. Leaving the power off for too long could result in the loss of
network connections.
