Erase

Under some circumstances you might want to erase the configuration and restore the factory default settings. Some examples are f you move the router to a different network or if you have forgotten the password.

You can use the Restore Factory Settings button on the back of the router (see Factory Settings on page 116), or you can click the Erase button in this screen.

Erase sets the user name to admin, the password to password, and the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.1, and enables the router’s DHCP.
