To reset the bridge, you must use a thin tool (like a straightened paper clip) to push the hidden switch behind the reset hole, and you must hold the switch active for something like ten or fifteen seconds while the power light goes through its blinking color change dance. It will settle down briefly as if everything is finished, but then it will do some more blinking before it's done. (Some people maintain that you need to be pressing the reset switch while applying power, but that might not be the case for all varieties of the WGA600N firmware.)
