Have cleared browser cache and tried using IE. Not using Genie app.

to press and hold the Reset button on the back of the router for at least seven seconds. The
router resets, and returns to the factory configuration settings shown in the following table.

How can the router FW be installed again without being able to log into the router?
Were is the crop button and or procedure to crop a picture on this forum?
