v1.0, May 2008

Press both the Wireless button and WPS button on the side of the modem router for 5 seconds.
Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known.

Problems with Date and Time

The E-mail screen in the Content Filtering section displays the current date and time of day. The
ADSL2+ Modem Wireless Router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current
time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped
with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the following:

Date shown is January 1, 2000.
Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that your
Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the
router, wait at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.

Time is off by one hour.
Cause: The router does not automatically sense daylight savings time. On the E-mail screen,
select or clear the Adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.

Note: Pressing the reset button on the modem router reboots the unit but does not restore

the factory default settings.
