Re: New Router?

During development, I naively did the power-up with reset because I had a router with an unknown IP. It seemed to wipe the firmware and make it ready to receive a new one. The D-Link reset is documented as holding the pin for 10 seconds with power on, then waiting 30 seconds.

I didn't find documentation stating what a reset during power up was defined to do, but I believe that DLink and Cisco/Linksys have different procedures for factory reset.

Fixing the router that was wiped involved downloading and installing new FW -- slightly annoying at the time, super annoying at an event.
