Be sure to do a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed later on.
Please mark your thread and solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

factory reset is for lost passwords. Enjoy :smileyhappy:
This and many other factory reset posts proves your incorrect.

You'll note NG suggests that resets are primarly for lost passwords (check with the moderators). The possibility of a reset fixing a problem after answering a dozen of off the wall/copy paste questions is a last resort solution of not really understanding the problem. Most experienced network users will agree a factory should not be required in most situations.
At any rate, enjoy :smileyhappy:

So you didn't say this? Seems like you did. Should make up your mind. :smileylol:
Factory resets are a valid troubleshooting step.

Seems to work and is working for those that have used. Posts prove it. Reset resets have been used for years and will continue to e when needed. Many other needs for it and not just because its only for password reset. It's up to users if they want to use it or not. Not by you or anyone else and thats fine. Users want there stuff working which is one point of the forums. Regardless of who helps out and how they help out. Copy and Paste away. It's working if you like that or not. Seems most users do. Users are getting the job done. Netgear hasn't posted anything regarding factory resets or there stance. Maybe Netgear should so everyone will be clear about it for Netgear products. Moderators haven't posted anything. If Netgear was overly concerned about how they feel about facory reset, then I'm they they would post something.
Cheers.

I'm just passing what the moderartors told me. Lost password is one reason. You'll note I (and the moderators/NG support) didn't say ONLY reason..
Enjoy....:smileyhappy:
