Pretty easy. push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. Then reinstall it.

Hello again and thanks for replying....does the reset have to happen in order to change those settings you listed?
ANd if so, once I begin the reset is there a disc that needs to installed or is it online or does it self setup?
I cant remember, and I didnt want to reset anything if I have a disc laying around somewhere that i need to dig up.

1. you don't need a disc to install it. You can log in through the browser and use the installation assistant.
2. the reason I say factory reset, is those services disable ctf (needed for gigabit speeds) and can cause slow downs. Occassionally, a full reset it needed to re-enable ctf.

Well, i did the reset but I am stuck trying to do the reinstall. I currently can not figure out how to get the router installed again. I am connected hardwire to my modem right now but am stuck. I can't seem to get to the routerlogin.net page
