How to reset router Admin password on Gigafast WF719-CAPR ?

Aug 20, 2008 1 Replies

My sister has this older wireless router. The router does what it's suppose to but now she has a new PC and she doesn't know the password and can't get into the settings. The reset switch doesn't work to reset the unit, which is ridiculous. Afterall, the $10 router isn't protecting a bank but a home. Even my D-Link resets the router default settings by doing a hard reset.



Does anyone have any ideas on how to reset the Admin Password?


Various web pages suggest you hold down the reset button for 30 seconds. I don't know where the reset button is located.

Also see:

which notes (under Recovery Mode) that you hold down the reset button for 5 seconds while applying the power. DON'T do this as this will clear the flash and will require a firmware upload to fix.
