The Reset Button
Briefly pressing the Reset Button will refresh the Wireless AP +
Cable/DSL Router’s connections, potentially clearing any jammed links.
To Reset the Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router’s factory default settings, power
off the Router and then press the Reset button. Then, power on the Router and
press the Reset button again. This should be done only if you are experiencing
heavy routing problems, and only after you have exhausted all of the other trou-
bleshooting options. By resetting the Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router, you
run the risk of creating conflicts between your PCs’ actual IP Addresses and
what the Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router thinks their IP Addresses should be.
You may be forced to reboot the entire system(s).
If the Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router locks up, simply power it down for 3
to 5 seconds by removing the power cable from the Wireless AP + Cable/DSL
Router’s Power Port. Leaving the power off for too long could result in the
loss of network connections.

necting the Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router to a net-
work device and will automatically determine the
