On some less-supported hardware this may have unpleasant results, so use the following two reset methods cautiously. Some platforms will completely empty the nvram and depend on another stage of the bootloader or firmware to repopulate it. Here the bootloader is in charge, so getting it to clear the memory for you may have different results. Holding down the reset-button while plugging in the router achieves a different goal than the thirty second reset. If above method did not work at all it probably means resetbuttond is set to disabled. After the network has lost a connection for the second time, the router is usually reset back to firmware defaults. One way of tracking the status of what's happening while holding in the reset button is to leave a network cable plugged in to your computer and the router, then watch the screen on your computer. If you added new non-factory variables they should still be there after this type of reset. What it is supposed to do is return all settings to factory state, or to say it another way, to firmware defaults. Normal behaviour here is for it to not actually clear the nvram, although many people think of it and phrase it that way. Wait for it to return to normal operation (typically power-LED on solid). On different models you may see rapid flashing of an LED, or a red error or diagnostic LED.
