Return the Modem Router to Its Factory Default Settings
Under some circumstances (for example, if you lost track of the changes that you made to the modem router settings
or you move the modem router to a different network), you might want to erase the configuration and reset it to
factory default settings.
If you do not know the current IP address of the modem router, first try to use an IP scanner application to detect
the IP address before you reset the modem router to factory default settings.
To reset the modem router to factory default settings, you can use either the Reset button on the back of the modem
router or the Erase function. However, if you cannot find the IP address or lost the password to access the modem
router, you must use the Reset button.
