  3. Physically connect the router ethernet port #1 to your computer ethernet port (NO WIRELESS!)
  4. Perform the 30/30/30 procedure:
    • With power on, hold the reset button down for 30 seconds .
    • Without releasing the reset button, unplug the router. Continue
      holding the reset button for 30 more seconds.
