About Factory Resets
A factory reset on a router returns all settings to default settings as the router
was when leaving the factory floor. It is particularly important to perform a
factory reset after upgrading the router firmware to ensure the firmware
installation is completed correctly.
There are two methods that can be used to perform a successful factory reset:
using the router's graphical user interface (GUI) to complete a factory
reset.
performing a factory reset manually using the reset pinhole at the back of
the modem.
This guide will explain both methods to complete a successful factory reset.
