How Do I Restore the Default Password and Configuration

Settings?

This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the

router’s administration password to password and the IP address to 192.168.1.1.

To restore the factory default configuration settings, use the reset button on the rear panel

of the router:

1. Use a sharp object like a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the default reset button for about

20 seconds (see “Router Back Panel” on page 4), until the Test light on the front turns on.

2. Release the reset button, and wait for the router to restart.

Troubleshooting Connectivity Using the Ping Utility

Most computers and routers have a diagnostic utility called ping that sends an request to a target

device. The device then replies. The ping utility makes it easy to troubleshoot a network..

Testing the Path from a PC to Your Router

You can ping the wireless router to verify that the LAN path from your computer to your router is

set up correctly.

1. From the Windows toolbar, click Start and select Run.

2. In the field provided, type Ping followed by the address of the router, as in this example:

ping www.routerlogin.net

ping 192.168.1.1

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

defaults.

This section includes advanced troubleshooting techniques.
