R6300 full reset
I have an R6300 that I need to do a full reset on. By full, I mean not just usernames and passwords (which has already been done), but settings as well. The regular full reset doesn't turn back ...
To do a full reset you need to press the reset button with a paper clip for 30 seconds while its powered on.
I have done both types of full reset.
30 seconds on the reset while it's on, and with it off, hold the reset while turning it on.
Neither of these restores DHCP. I am still receiving DHCP from my server, not the router, on my wireless devices, and I cannot get the login page from the router itself, either from a wired connection or wireless.
My OP stated the same issues. I don't even have a method of finding out what firmware version is currently installed so I can try a newer version to see if that would work. But it's likely the firmware update would fail as well as there's no login page available.
