A factory reset puts your Zhone gateway back to its default settings.

Check With Your ISP First

Your ISP set up the gateway. A reset can erase the Internet, phone and TV settings, and some ISPs have to put them back for you. Write down your WiFi details and port forwards too.

Method 1: The Reset Button

Method 2: Reset From the Web Interface

After the Reset

Log in with the defaults (see the Zhone login guide). If the Internet doesn't come back within a few minutes, call your ISP.
