MK83 Factory reset
I have tried performing a factory reset directly from the router and through the admin settings from a connected pc. Once it reboots, the router settings and name remains. Any suggestions? Anyone else...
I’ve tried different browsers as well. Would this reset the network name as well? I guess that is the reason I am thinking it’s not completed because the network name and password are still intact.
Steps I am taking when hardwired directly to the router:
1. Connect to the router network.
2. Go to http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1 in your browser.
3. Log in with your admin credentials.
4. Navigate to:
Advanced > Administration > Backup Settings
5. Scroll to the “Factory Default” section.
6. Click Erase, then confirm when prompted.
I have also tried the factory reset manually on the device.
