That is what I did... and nothing was reset. It seems there are 2 distinct modes here... well 3. A power button recycle (off and back on), the reset button that seems to do the same as the power button recycle without turning the router physically off (same as reboot via the GUI), and an erase via the GUI?

 

If I have further problems I'll try the GUI erase I guess?
