security questions for login
I'm trying to change my dns server due to constantly having to flush dns to be able to quickly connect to games/webpages. without doing this everything hitches and I have to refresh or hit connect a bunch of times when launching games. Apparently I didn't get the password correct too many times when logging into my router and now it's asking for security questions which I do not recall setting up and also the correct answers to said questions aren't working which makes me think the router is assuming I set this up? Am I screwed now and have to factory reset my router to be able to get into it? I have tons of devices/cameras/home security and that would be an all day task.Thanks for any help.

Wire connect a PC to the router and factory reset the router using the back push pin button. Hold it in for 15 seconds then let go. Then log in to 192.168.1.1 using a web browser and walk thru the setup wizard. This time write down all important information for safe keeping later on.
