Restoring the Default Password and Configuration Settings

You can restore the factory default configuration settings that reset the router’s user name to admin, the password to password, and the IP address to 192.168.1.1.

This procedure will erase all the current configuration settings and restore the factory defaults.

To restore the factory default configuration settings:

1.Use a sharp object such as a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the restore factory settings button, located on the rear panel of the router, for about 20 seconds, until the Power light begins to blink (see “Router Back Panel” on page 5).

2.Release the restore factory settings button, and wait for the router to restart, and for the Power light to stop blinking and become solid green.

The factory default settings will be restored so that you can access the router from your Web browser using the factory defaults.
