There are two ways to reset the router's factory defaults:
1. Use the Factory Defaults function on System Tools -> Factory Defaults page in the
router's Web-based Utility.
2. Use the Factory Default Reset button: First, turn off the router's power. Second, press the
default reset button, then turn on the router's power, and hold the reset button until the M1

wait for the router to reboot.
Note: Ensure the router is powered on before it restarts completely.
