The Reset Button*

Briefly pressing the Reset Button will refresh the Router’s con- nections, potentially clearing any jammed links.

Pressing the Reset Button and holding it in for a few seconds will clear all of the Router’s data. This should be done only if you are experienc- ing heavy routing problems, and only after you have exhausted all of the other troubleshooting options. By resetting the Router, you run the risk of creating conflicts between your PCs’ actual IP Addresses and what the Router thinks their IP Addresses should be. You may be forced to reboot the entire system(s).

If your router locks up, simply power it down for 3 to 5 seconds by removing the power cable from the Router’s Power Port. Leaving the power off for too long could result in the loss of network connections.

*The Reset Button is located on the front of the 4-Port Router and on the rear of the One-Port Router.
