7.8 Performing a network settings reset
If you have lost or can no longer remember the router’s admin password you
can perform a networking reset following the steps below.
Note:
Performing a networking reset will revert all customized Wi-Fi and ethernet
settings and the admin password to their factory default settings. All other
settings will remain unchanged.
With the router powered on:
1. Insert a paper clip or a small screwdriver into the hard reset hole located
on the bottom right of the router.
2. Press in and hold for approximately 2 seconds until the first 5 LEDs turn
off and then blink green once simultaneously.
3. Remove the paperclip / screwdriver.
During the reset process the first 5 LEDs will turn solid amber. Once the
Power LED turn solid green the networking reset is complete.
