Restoring the Default Configuration and Password

This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the router’s administration password back to password. You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:

•Use the Erase function of the router (see “Erasing the Configuration” on page 4-12).

•Use the Reset button on the bottom of the router. Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known.

To restore the factory default configuration settings when you do not know the administration password or IP address, you must use the restore settings button on the bottom of the router.

1.Press and hold the restore settings button for over 5 seconds until the Power light turns to blinking amber.

2.Release the restore settings button, and wait for the router to reboot.

If the wireless router fails to restart, or the green Power light continues to blink, the unit might be defective. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact Technical Support at http://www.netgear.com/support.
