Resetting a SOHO to the Factory Defaults

It is possible that due to a firmware corruption or other unforeseen
misfortune (such as a lost System Security passphrase) you may
need to reset the SOHO to the factory defaults.
To do this, you will need to remove the SOHO from your network
disconnect the power, disconnect all cables, plug one end of an
Ethernet cable into the WAN port in the back of the device and the
other end into any of the other four (numbered 1-4) Ethernet ports.
Then, reconnect the power, wait at least 90 seconds, and
disconnect power. Your SOHO is now reset to factory defaults.
Connect the cables in the original configuration and power up
again.
