The Back and Side Panels
The Router’s ports and Reset button are located on the back panel of the Router.
Reset Button
Reset Button The Reset button can be used in one of two ways:
If the Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset button for
just a second with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This is similar to pressing the Reset
button on your PC to reboot it.
If you are experiencing extreme problems with the Router and have tried all other
troubleshooting measures, press and hold in the Reset button for 30 seconds. This will
restore the factory defaults and clear all of the Router’s settings, such as port
forwarding or a new password.
Ports
1-4 (LAN) These four LAN (Ethernet) ports connect to network devices, such as PCs, print
servers, or additional switches.
Internet (WAN1) The Internet port connects to a cable or DSL modem.
DMZ/Internet (WAN2) The DMZ/Internet port can be used in two different ways: a second Internet port, or
DMZ port. When used as an additional Internet port, it connects to a cable or DSL
modem. When used as a DMZ port, it connects to a hub, switch, or public server.
