Power on Router
The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.
1. Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug the adapter into a suitable nearby
power source.
2. Depress the Power button into the on position. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit.
3. If the Ethernet port is connected to a working device, check the LAN LED indicators to make sure the connection is valid. The Router will attempt
to establish the ADSL connection. If the ADSL line is connected and the Router is properly configured, the DSL LED should light up after several
seconds. If this is the first time installing the device, some settings may need to be changed before the Router can establish a connection.
Factory Reset Button
The Router may be reset to the original factory default settings by using a ballpoint or paperclip to gently push down the reset button in the following
sequence:
1. Ensure the Router is powered on.
2. Press and hold the reset button on the back of the device for approximately 5 to 8 seconds.
3. This process should take around 1 to 2 minutes.
Remember that this will wipe out any settings stored in flash memory including user account information and LAN IP settings. The device settings
will be restored to the factory default IP address 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the default management Username is “admin”
and the default Password is “admin.”
