7) After about another minute the router will go into reset. This is indicated by the yellow link
light and the green traffic light both going on solid for the Ethernet unit and both going off for
the WiFi unit. Another minute later the router will boot up with all the IP and web parameters
set to factory defaults.
Test the restored IP settings by pinging the default IP address and/or entering the default URL
into a web browser.
2.4. Web Configuration Parameters
In general there are two types of parameters on the following web configuration pages. The
first type take effect immediately upon submission, usually by clicking a submit changes or

parameters that require a reboot are marked with a green asterisk.
Submit changes will first store the parameters in RAM and then later, in the background, a copy
(actually two copies) will be stored in flash. Power cycling the router before it has time to store
the backup copies in flash means that on the next boot-up it may not retain the changed
parameters. In some cases power cycling or resetting the router while its writing some of the
critical flash parameters may corrupt flash and make the unit inoperable. The Router Setup
page includes a
