Don't know the procedure specifically on your router, but on all I have
encountered the following works:
- Disconnect power
- Locate the reset switch on your router (may be a dual function or
hidden in a pinhole)
- Keep the reset switch pressed while connecting power, and hold it down
for a few seconds (until you see some activity on the LEDs)
- Use the initial setup procedure.

On some routers the reset mode times out after a couple of minutes, so
you need to start setup procedure right away.

1) go to www.smc.com
2) download the manual for your router
3) follow the instructions in the manual.
