Before we begin let's discuss the difference between a reset and a reboot. A reboot is cycling the power to the device. This is done by turning it off and back on again. A reset is taking all the settings and returning them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router can cause problems if you don't know what settings are changed. It is a good idea to create a list of settings you know will be changed by this reset. We have it started for you:

  • The router's username and password.
  • The Internet username and password.
  • The ISP username and password, if you have DSL.
  • Any other settings you have changed such as Port forwards or IP addresses.

Take the end of an unwound paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you hold it for less time than that you will probably only reboot the router instead of resetting it.
