Restoring the Router to Factory Defaults

You may want to reset the router to how it was when you bought it. You have two options for
restoring factory defaults: through the user interface or through the Reset button on the
bottom of the router.

To reset the router on the user interface:

1. On the Advanced Settings screen, click the Administrator icon.

2. Click the System tab.

3. Click Reset to the right of Reset to Factory Default Settings.

4. When a confirmation message displays, click OK.

5. Wait until the router reboots before using it.

To reset the router manually:

1. Press and hold the Reset button on the bottom of the router for at least 10 seconds.

When the reset finishes, the Power LED blinks.

Rebooting the Router

You can reboot the router two ways. If you are physically close to it, just press the On/Off
button on the router. If you cannot easily press the button:

1. On the Advanced Settings screen, click the Administrator icon.

2. Click the System tab.

Important: Do not reboot the router or close the application while the update is

taking place.

WARNING!

To avoid data loss, before rebooting, stop all network and read/write
activities.
