All other troubleshooting has been unsuccessful

If you’ve tried previous troubleshooting steps and your network still doesn’t work, you may need to restore your router’s factory defaults.

Why would I need to restore to factory defaults? When all other troubleshooting has failed, you may want to try restoring the router to its basic factory settings, which are the most common settings used in home networks. Resetting the router erases your custom settings, so you must restore the settings after. We recommend that you back up your configuration before resetting your router to factory defaults. See “How to back up and restore your router configuration” on page 55.

To restore your router to factory defaults, you can use the Reset button on the router or use Cisco Connect Cloud. For instructions, see “How to restore factory defaults” on page 56.
