Resetting the Cable Modem Router to factory defaults

There may be occasions when you need to reset your cable modem/router to factory defaults, for example if you have changed the Username and Password and lost the new values. Note that if you reset your device to its factory defaults, you will lose any changes you have made to settings in the device.

You should backup your settings before you do this.

FACTORY RESET (or "HARD RESET"):
1.  Make sure the power to your unit is ON

2.  Disconnect the Coaxial cable in the back of your modem
