You can use the Restore Factory Settings button located on the back of your device to reset all
configuration settings to their factory defaults. This is called a hard reset.

To perform a hard reset, push and hold the Restore button for approximately 5 seconds (until
the POWER status light blinks rapidly). Your device will return to the factory configuration
settings shown in

located on the rear panel of the router, for about 20 seconds (see

2.
Release the reset button and wait for the router to reboot.
