Introduction:
Having trouble with your router and can't figure out what's causing the issue? Maybe you lost your password, or you want to fortify the security settings from scratch? Either way, restoring the equipment to default factory settings is a good catchall troubleshooting move! Any personalized configurations will be lost, so it's an effective way to wipe the slate clean and customize the internal network your office needs.
