About Factory Resets
A factory reset on a router returns all settings to default settings as the router
was when leaving the factory floor. It is particularly important to perform a
factory reset after upgrading the router firmware to ensure the firmware
installation is completed correctly.
There are two methods that can be used to perform a successful factory reset:
using the router's graphical user interface (GUI) to complete a factory
reset.
performing a factory reset manually using the reset pinhole at the back of
the modem.
This guide will explain both methods to complete a successful factory reset.

Performing a Factory Reset via the Router GUI Interface
1. Navigate to http://192.168.1.1 in a web browser using “admin” (without
quotes) as both the username and password to login to the router.
2. Select the Management menu, then select the Device Settings option
and then click the Restore Default option.
3. Click the Restore Default Settings button.
4. After the modem has rebooted you will need to login to the modem and
reenter your broadband connection settings such as your PPP User ID and
Password.

Performing a Factory Reset Manually
1. Ensure the NF1ADV is powered on.
2. Use a thin object such as a paperclip to depress and hold in the reset
button at the back of the modem for 10-15 seconds. During this time the
modem lights will flicker in a pattern to show the reset is underway.
3. After holding in the reset button for 10-15 seconds, release the button and
check that the modem lights return to their normal pattern. If this does not
happen, disconnect the power supply cable for 30 seconds and then
reconnect it.
4. You will now need to login to the modem and re-enter your broadband
connection settings such as your PPP User ID and Password
