Netgear stuck during factory reset
Three issues: #2 is what i need immediately solved.
1. Netgear randomly resets itself to factory default on a regular basis and i have to go re configure it as though it is new (happens once a month or so)
This set off a chain of events. During the set up process it would not allow me to use the default password. So i did another factory reset by using a paperclip/button to start over.
2. Its been factoring resetting for 60 min and just sits there and is hung. Message says: "Factory Reset in progress. Please do not power off".
Clearly this router is not resetting properly. SHould i remove power even though it says not to? A factory reset should take less than a minute.
Can anyone tell me what to do?
