How to reset router back to the factory default settings?

This article teach you how to D-Link router to restore factory settings,di-524 as an example.

Step 1 With the unit on, place a paper clip into the hole on the back on the unit labeled Reset.

Step 2 Hold paper clip down for 10 seconds and release. (Note: Do not repower unit during this procedure.)

Step 3 The unit will reboot on its own. Once the WLAN light stops blinking, the unit is reset.

Resetting the router does not reset the firmware to an earlier version. It will change all settings back to factory defaults.

Blood stains on carpets and upholstery are something normal, especially if
you live in Fulham. It is also good to check how old the
company is and who is it’s owner (I would be curious to know).
Applying acid stain can be dangerous, and the results
can be ugly if it is not done properly.
