Restoring the Router's factory settings

If you have made configuration settings on the router in error, with the result that you

can no longer access the router's configuration interface, you can reset the router to its

factory settings.
You may need to do this, for example, if you have forgotten your password, if you have

activated WEP encryption but have forgotten the key for configuring the network

adapters, or if you activate the access control for wireless access to the local network but

the access list is empty (see page 68).

To reset your router to its factory settings, proceed as follows:

Switch off the router by unplugging the power cord from it.

Press the reset button on the back of the router and hold it down.

While holding down the reset button, switch the router on again (re-connect the

power cord).

Wait for at least 5 seconds. Now release the reset button.

It will take a few seconds for the router to restart. You can now log on again and

configure the router once more.

!

Remember that a complete router reset will reset all your configuration

settings to the factory settings. This means that you will have to

reconfigure your router from scratch.
