Restoring the Default Configuration and Password

This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the
router's administration password to password and the IP address to 192.168.0.1. You can erase the
current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:
• Use the Erase function of the Web Configuration Manager (see
Erasing Your Settings" on page
• Use the default reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases when the
administration password or IP address is not known.

Using the Reset Button

To restore the factory default configuration settings when you do not know the administration
password or IP address, you must use the default reset button on the rear panel of the router.
1. Press and hold the default reset button until the Power LED turns red (about 5 seconds).
2. Release the default reset button. The LED blinks red three times and then turn green when the
router has reset to the factory default state. Wait for the router to reboot.

Problems with Date and Time

In the main menu, under Security, select Schedule to display the current date and time of day. The
modem router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of
several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and
time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include:
• Date shown is January 1, 2000.
Cause. The router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that your
Internet access is configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait
at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.
• Time is off by one hour.
Cause. The router does not automatically sense daylight savings time. In the Schedule screen,
select the Adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.
