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 IPAddresses should be. You may be forced to reboot the entire
system(s).
If the 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.

is continuously illuminated, the Router is successfully con-

the LEDis flickering, the Router is actively sending or
receiving data over that port.
