IMPORTANT: If you reset the Router, all of your settings, including Internet connection, Internet phone service, and security settings, will be deleted and replaced with the factory defaults. Do not reset the Router if you want to retain these settings.

(If you have an active Internet phone service account and reset the Router, then the Router will automatically download its Internet phone service settings once it is connected to the Internet again.)
