So if you press the reset button in back for 15 seconds then release and then connect one ethernet PC to the back of the router, and naviate to 192.168.1.1 in a web browser, can you get to the setup wizard at the bottom of the page and select don't have a mobile device then proceed to walk thru the set up wizard here?
Brand and model# of the ISP modem the router is connected too?
