Thanks, I'll give of those a read.

I've been on the web and there seems to be this reset process called the 30/30/30. Hold reset button thirty seconds, without releasing, unplug and continue holding another 30 seconds and finally without releasing reset button, plug in and hold for another 30 seconds.

Is this process okay to run on a R6300 and is there any value to erasing the nvram?

Thanks.

Hi CyberCoach,

Yes, it is something that you can try and there are many who claim that it worked for them but it is not something where we can guarantee the end result. It is usually done when the device does not seem to reset back to factory defaults and continue to retain the configuration which may or may not have something to do with some issues on some devices.

Regards,
