the different options. Depending on your model, it may have some or all of the features listed
below.
3.1 Ports and Buttons
Reset and Restore to Factory Defaults:
The restore to factory defaults feature will set the
ADSL Router to its factory default configuration by resetting the ADSL Router. You may need

To reset the ADSL Router, simply press the reset button for about ~ 10 seconds. The ADSL
Router will be reset to its factory defaults and after about 30 ~ 40 seconds the ADSL Router will
become operational again.
