If you run into odd issue, yes, a reset and setup from scratch maybe needed. After the reset, I would set the default DHCP IP address pool size to 192.168.1.100 thru .200.
I would power OFF the iSP modem for 1 minute while the Factory reset happens on the RBR. Then walk thru the setup wizard on the RBR.
