Restoring the Default Configuration and Password

The user can erase the current configuration and restore defaults by uploading the initialization file romfile0 or romdhcp, which can be found in the directory in which FirstGear was installed. These files are also available on the NETGEAR Web site. This procedure will restore the Manager password to 1234 and will set the Manager baud rate to 9600. This recovery method is for cases when the Manager password is not known.

The two initialization files romfile0 and romdhcp differ in the initial IP address information and DHCP setup. The file romfile0 leaves the router with no IP address and with DHCP disabled. The file romdhcp leaves the router with an initial IP address of 192.168.0.1 and with DHCP enabled, allowing the router to assign initial IP configuration information to attached hosts.

To upload romfile0 or romdhcp, you must enter the BootModule debug mode with a serial connection to the Manager port.

To enter the BootModule debug mode:

1.While monitoring the serial port, turn on the router. Wait for the following message:

Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds...

2.Press any key and wait for the following message:

Enter Debug Mode

3.(Optional) Type atba1 to change the baud rate of the router to 38.4k, and then change the baud rate of your terminal.

Changing the baud rate may be necessary if the file transfer is unreliable at 9600 baud. (Note: The character after atba is the number 1.)

4.Type atur3 and wait for the following messages:

Now erase flash ROM for uploading ...

Starting XMODEM upload......

5.From your terminal program, send the binary file romfile0 (or romdhcp) using XMODEM transfer protocol. Wait for the following message:

Programming successful....

6.Restart the router.
