•Press both the Wireless button and WPS button on the side of the modem router for 5 seconds. Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known.

Note: Pressing the reset button on the modem router reboots the unit but does not restore the factory default settings.

Problems with Date and Time

The E-mail screen in the Content Filtering section displays the current date and time of day. The ADSL2+ Modem Wireless Router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the following:

•Date shown is January 1, 2000.

Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.

•Time is off by one hour.

Cause: The router does not automatically sense daylight savings time. On the E-mail screen, select or clear the Adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.
