IMPORTANT: If you reset the Router, all of
your settings, including Internet connection,
Internet phone service, and security settings,
will be deleted and replaced with the factory
defaults. Do not reset the Router if you want to
retain these settings.
(If you have an active Internet phone service
account and reset the Router, then the Router
will automatically download its Internet phone
service settings once it is connected to the
Internet again.)
