Related CLI Commands
The router’s configuration can be reset back to the factory defaults using the following
commands
del pwds.da0
copy config.fac config.da0
This assumes that you are using configuration profile 0. If configuration profile 1 is being
used, then the .da1 suffix should be used instead of .da0.
Please note that using these commands does not preserve any network settings.
Reset using the hardware Reset button
There is a reset button on the underside of most routers, holding this button in for 5
seconds will perform a factory reset on the router. When the reset is initiated in this
manner, the LEDs on the front of the router will flash to indicate a reset is in progress, the
router will automatically reboot once the procedure is complete. Do not remove the power
whilst the router is running this reset procedure. Using this method will not preserve any
settings.
The CLI command to disable the reset button is “
cmd 0 pbreset off”
To re-enable the reset button functionality “
cmd 0 pbreset on”
