That being said, the hard reset process worked great for me – going strong for about two weeks now (typically 235 Mbps with 200 Mbps service).
Note: if you do the hard reset with your PC turned on, your gateway passwords (old and possibly the default) may not work (my case). After rebooting my PC the default gateway password worked fine. Performance is actually much faster than that realized after the constant reboots of the router.
