Factory defaults

You can reset the Netopia 4541/4542 to its factory default settings. In the Utilities & Diagnostics screen, select Revert to Factory Defaults and press Return. Select CONTINUE in the dialog box and press Return. The Netopia 4541/4542 will reboot and its settings will return to the factory defaults, deleting your configurations.

In an emergency, you can also use the Reset switch to return the router to its factory default settings. Call Netopia Technical Support for instructions on using the Reset switch.

If you lose your password and are unable to access the console screens, you can manually reset the router in an emergency. See Appendix A, “Troubleshooting.”
