Factory Default Reset button 
There are two ways to reset the router's factory defaults: 

1.

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.
