7. How do I return the Anker device to its original factory settings?

Resetting the Anker device and starting anew is sometimes helpful when you're 
having trouble connecting. 

To reset the device: 

Make sure the Anker device is connected to a power source, 

and press the unit's reset button for 10 seconds before releasing the reset button. The 
indicator lights will turn off after several seconds. Wait another 2 minutes to allow the 
repeater to restart completely.
