With these data strangers can surf the internet, check e-mails and carry out other
security sensitive processes at your expenses. That is why you have to carry out a
reset before you give your device for example for reparation or maintenance to thi
rd
parties.
The reset to the factory
settings is also necessary, if you have forgotten your personal
password and you have no more access to the configuration program. In this case
you have to completely reconfigure your device as follows:
1. Your Speedport Plus 2 has to be connected to the power source.
2. Use a thin pointed object to press for at least five seconds into the opening o
n
the backside of your Speedport Plus 2 labeled with
Reset
.
3. Wait 180 seconds, before disconnecting your Speedport Plus
2 from the power source.
Now all data are erased and replaced by the factory status data. Now you can
unhesitatingly hand over your Speedport Plus 2 to someone else.
If you want to check whether all data have been erased, log in with the device
password of the type label of your Speedport Plus 2.
Notice:
Please note that after a reset to the factory settings the Wi-Fi name (SSID)
and the Wi-Fi key are reset to the default settings. These are the data, which are
entered on the label of your Speedport Plus 2.
