it is sometimes desirable to restore the router to a known blank condition. this can be done by using the erase function, which will restore all factory settings. after an erase, the router's password will be 1234, the lan ip address will be 192.168.0.1, and the router's dhcp client will be enabled.

    to erase the configuration, click the erase tab, then click the erase button on the screen.

    to restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or ip address, you must use the default reset button on the rear panel of the router. see “using the default reset button“ on page 11-8.
