J. I forgot my password and can no longer log into the router.
You should restore your router to factory defaults via its hardware reset button. Locate the reset
button (to the right of the power input). While the device is powered on, use a paper clip to
depress this button for about 5-7 seconds and then release. Now you have completed the reset
to factory defaults.
K. Upgrading the firmware
New firmware revisions will be made available as necessary when new product features or
functionality is released. You should check http://www.smc.com on a periodic basis for these
updates. If a new version is available, check the release notes to be sure of what has been
changed/added and then you can decide if you wish to complete the upgrade. Then download
and unzip the firmware file. Log into the web-based administration of the SMC Router, click
TOOLS, then click FIRMWARE UPGRADE and browse to the new firmware file. Then click the
“BEGIN UPGRADE” button to upload the firmware to the SMC Router. Once this is completed, be
sure to reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure your WAN connection before
continuing to use it.
