7.4 Reset to Factory Defaults

Resetting your

SpeedTouch™

You might consider a reset to factory defaults as described below.

You can choose between:

Hardware reset

Software reset

A reset to factory default settings deletes the configuration profile settings.
Therefore, after the reset, a reconfiguration of your SpeedTouch™ will be needed.
Also your WLAN clients will have to be re-associated, as described in

“2.3.2 Connecting First-time Wireless Clients” on page 26

.

Hardware reset

Proceed as follows:

1

Make sure the SpeedTouch™ is powered on.

2

Use a pen or an unfolded paperclip to push the recessed reset button on the
back panel. The reset button is marked with a red circle. Keep it pushed until
the power LED lights red - this will take about 7 seconds.

3

Release the reset button.

4

The SpeedTouch™ restarts.

Software reset

Proceed as follows:

1

Go to the SpeedTouch™ web pages.

2

In the menu select SpeedTouch > Configuration.

3

In the Pick a task... list, click Reset my SpeedTouch to default settings.

4

The SpeedTouch™ restarts.

5

The SpeedTouch™ returns to the SpeedTouch™ Home page (unless the IP
address of your computer is not in the same subnet as the default IP address of
the SpeedTouch™, being 192.168.1.254).

!

Be aware that a reset to factory defaults will revoke all configurational
changes you made to the SpeedTouch™.
