| reply to Edcan Re: RT31P2 Unlock thoughts??
There are only two uses for the reset button on the RT31P2/WRT54GP2:
1) a quick (less than 5 second) push that is only meant for rebooting the device and nothing else (no, it's not meant for nor has any unintended side effects of clearing passwords or any other settings at all);
2) a push of just under 5 seconds in duration that factory resets the router and, under certain conditions, also the voice module.
Despite the wishful thinking of many posters here, there's NO SUCH THING as a "long" 30-40 second reset on the RT31P2/WRT54GP2--AT ALL, PERIOD. Holding the reset button depressed for any extended length of time DOES NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES accomplish anything beyond what the 5 second reset does. |
