Pressing the Reset Button and holding it in for a few seconds will clear all of
the Cable Gateway’s data and restore the factory defaults. This should be done
only if you are experiencing networking problems and have exhausted all of
the other troubleshooting options. By resetting the Cable Gateway, you run the
risk of creating conflicts between your PCs’ actual IP Addresses and what the
Cable Gateway thinks the IP Addresses of the PCs should be. You may be
forced to reboot each network PC.
The Reset Button
You should only reboot the Cable Gateway after all other troubleshooting
methods have been exhausted but before calling Linksys Technical Support.
There are two ways to reboot the Cable Gateway:
1) Turn the Cable Gateway’s power off for a few seconds and power it back on
again.
2) Unplug the Cable Gateway’s power adapter and plug it back in again.
Rebooting the Cable Gateway may cause conflicts with IP Addresses.
