My favorite button on a consumer router is the Reset button.

Re: well i messed up my internet connection
I've had to do the "hard reset" a few times. Sets it back to factory defaults and then I had to set-up my port assignments again, again, again.69rangerf100 wrote:yeah the reset didnt even work i had to do a hard boot on the routermr_josh wrote:My favorite button on a consumer router is the Reset button.
