I will try this tonight. One question, will the reset clear out all of my settings? (network name, passwords, etc.).
Thanks.

Yes. However you can do a Backup configuration to file. Do the reset and walk thru the wizard. If the RBR and CM get connected and it works, you can apply the backup configuration from file and your settings will return. Possible that you may see the original problem re-appear though. Which would mean the there is a current configuration problem that the reset would clear out and you may need to set up from scratch, get the system working well, then save off a New backup configuration to file.

Before you factory reset the router, save the settings under the Advanced tab -> Adminstration -> Backup Settings. Then go to each settings page that you have configured items on and take a screenshot of the web page. That way if you have to configure the router manually after a factory reset, you know what settings should be in case the configuration backup includes anything that may be corrupting your router.
