Reset

Button Description

There are two methods to reset the

EdgeRouter Infinity to factory defaults:

Runtime reset (recommended)  The EdgeRouter Infinity should be running after bootup is complete. Press and hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds until the LED of port eth0 starts flashing and then becomes solidly lit. After a few seconds, the LED will turn off, and the EdgeRouter Infinity will automatically reboot.

Note: To press the Reset button, Reset insert a straightened paper clip (or

similar object) into the hole shown above. Do not use an object that can break and become lodged in the hole.

Power-on reset  Disconnect the Power Cords from the EdgeRouter Infinity.

Press and hold the Reset button while connecting the Power Cords to the

EdgeRouter Infinity. Keep holding the button until the LED of port eth0 starts flashing and then stops flashing after a few seconds.
