Factory reset doesnt work

In a few seconds, the power LED should turn amber.  That indicates a "reset", but not a "factory reset". 

 

 

That's a new one on me. Maybe there is this two-stage process on the RBR40.

In general, the pattern is that you insert something into the reset hole "for at least seven seconds", it says in the manuals. Most people go for 10 seconds. Anything less than that will do nothing to the router.

There is, though, a more severe undocumented "recovery reset" procedure:

• Press reset for 30 seconds
• Keep pressing reset while removing power
• Keep pressing reset for another 30 seconds while apply power
