and Reset to
Factory Defaults
If you can browse to the Router configuration screen but cannot log on
because you do not know or have forgotten the password, follow the
steps below to reset the Router to it’s factory default configuration.
CAUTION: All your configuration changes will be lost, and you will need
to run the configuration wizard again before you can re-establish your
Router connection to the Internet. Also, other computer users will lose
their network connections whilst this process is taking place, so choose a
time when this would be convenient.
1 Remove power from the Router.
2 Disconnect all your computers and the cable/DSL modem from the
Router.
3 Using a straight through Ethernet cable, connect the Ethernet Cable/DSL
port on the rear of the Router to any one of the LAN ports.

up, and after approximately 30 seconds will start to flash more slowly

reconnect one of your computers to one of the Router LAN ports.

before you attempt this.

network as it was before.
