Yup... those instructions worked. Got right to the password prompt. A little surprised that it immediately opened the page prompt for creation of new password. I thought I had factory defaulted this unit. Am i misinformed to think that in default mode the login page will accept default user/pass (admin / password)?
Follow up question: How do you factory default the CAX80? I was certain I had done so correctly. However, once I was into the UI I discovered that my client's wifi SSID and login info were still on board. I suppose I could manually enter the SSID/password on the label and erase the old but a factory reset would be simpler. This inquiring mind wants to know the correct/complete factory default procedure and what a factory defaulted unit should "look like". For example, will defaulting recover the SSID and username on the CAX80's pre-printed label.
Also, should I take the follow-up question to a different thread?
Thanks
Doug
Reply to myself. A couple of thread subject lines refer to default procedures for CAX80 but I do not find/see a thread in which someone clearly describes the procedure. I expected to find an executable command in the UI...perhaps in the Advanced > admin tab. Did not find.
Hold down times on the reset button seem very action specific. I twice did a 60 second hold down of the reset button thinking that would default. Does this only have the desired effect when a live ISP cable line is connected (did a little lite just go on up there in my brain?)?
