RUT230 Device Recovery Options: Difference between revisions

This chapter is an overview on the various ways of performing a '''factory reset''' on a RUT230 device. A factory reset returns the device back to its default factory settings, i.e., it deletes all custom configurations.

The Reset button is located on the rear panel of the device (encapsulated in a blue square in the picture below):

* '''Reboot the device'''. After the device has started and if the Reset button is pressed for up to 4 seconds, the device will reboot. Start of the reboot will be indicated by the flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together with green connection status LED.

* '''Reset to defaults'''. If the Reset button is pressed for at least 5 seconds, the device will reset all user changes to factory defaults and reboot. To help the user determine how long the Reset button should be pressed, signal strength LEDs indicate the elapsed time. All 5 lit LEDs means that 5 seconds have passed and the Reset button can be released. Start of the factory reset will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together with a red connection status LED. <br> '''NOTE''': SIM PIN on the main SIM card is the only user parameter that is kept after a factory reset. <br> '''NOTE''': the default value reset time (5 seconds) can be changed in the router's WebUI, from the '''[[RUT950_Administration#General|System → Administration → General]]''' window.
