WNR2000v5 Factory Reset

[ckewsoul]

I cannot find the factory reset button on my WNR2000v5.  Does it have one or do I need new glasses?

   Which "The manual"?  I was looking at the picture on page 111 of:

http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNR2000V5/WNR2000v5_UM_20Nov2014.pdf

   If you're looking at the JWNR2000v5 manual:

http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/JNR1010V2/N150_N300_Wireless_Router_UM_EN.pdf

then a search for "reset" should lead you to pages 7 and 12, which
identifiy the (multi-purpose) button.  But your picture shows no "J".

   All I know is what I read in the manual(s).

   Can you read the User Manual without new glasses?  Visit
http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
Documentation.  In the User Manual, look for "Factory Settings".

   You may need a new paper clip (or small, inanimate carbon rod).

Thanks for the reply. The manual says there is one but does not provide a picture of where it is. Please see the attached photo and direct me to where the darn thing is.

Thank-you for your help antinode. I was looking at the "j" manual and it indicates the reset button is on the back of the router. The nov2014 manual is the one with the correct info as you noted.
