Factory defaults
You can reset the Netopia 4553 to its factory default settings. In the Utilities & Diagnostics screen, select
Revert to Factory Defaults and press Return. Select CONTINUE in the dialog box and press Return. The
Netopia 4553 will reboot and its settings will return to the factory defaults, deleting your configurations.
In an emergency, you can also use the Reset switch to return the router to its factory default settings. Call
