How to dispose of WNDR 4500 router

[JohnStephen]

I have a WNDR4500 N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router.  I have replaced it with new equipment and I am trying to figure out how to dispose of it.  I can take it to an e-waste recycling center, but does the router have personal information about my network or password on it?  If so, is there a way to remove this data from it?  Thanks in advance.

Yes.

Press the reset button for 10 seconds then then release. Let the router process it for 30 seconds, then power off.
