8.4 Reset to factory defaults
Resetting your TG788vv3
If at some point you can no longer connect to the TG788vv3 or you want to make a fresh install, it may be useful to perform
a reset to factory defaults.
Methods
You can choose between:
• Resetting the TG788vv3 via the web interface
• Reset the TG788vv3 via the Reset button
Resetting the TG788vv3 via the web interface
Proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the TG788vv3 web interface.
For more information, see “4.1.1 Accessing the TG788vv3 web interface from your local network” on page 33.
2 Click Gateway. The Gateway page appears.
3 Click Reset.
4 The TG788vv3 restores the factory default configuration and restarts.
Reset the TG788vv3 via the Reset button
Proceed as follows:
1 Make sure the TG788vv3 is turned on.
2 Push the Reset button for at least 7 seconds and then release it.
3 The TG788vv3 restarts.
Restore your settings
If you previously backed up your configuration, you can now restore this configuration on your TG788vv3.
For more information, see “4.4 Backing up/restoring your configuration” on page 56.
A reset to factory default settings deletes all configuration changes you made. Therefore, after the reset a
reconfiguration of your TG788vv3 will be needed.
Also your wireless clients will have to be re-associated, as described in “3 Wireless networking” on page 22.
Your system administrator may have disabled the physical reset button of the TG788vv3. In this case, a hardware
reset to defaults is not possible.
