Hardware reset on the La Fonera

Please read carefully this instructions. A wrongly executed reset can damage the firmware of the La Fonera.

• A hardware reset may be indicated, if the 'La Foneras' behavior isn't as it should be. It's indicated to contact the Support Team first.

• A hardware reset may be also indicated, if you lost the password of the Management Console (standard user and password is admin/admin) and the settings of the La Fonera do not allow the router to connect to the Internet so you can't change it from your My FON user zone

Hardware reset:

1. Unplug the ethernet cable from the La Fonera.
2. Press the reset button located on the Fonera's bottom side during 15 to 20 seconds (not more). You'll need a pen or something similar to do this. Now the original firmware will be loaded from a second storage area inside the La Fonera. This process can take about 2 to 5 minutes. Please do not switch off the La Fonera during this process, you would damage its firmware.
3. Now, the La Fonera is back to it's default factory configuration:username/password of the Management console are admin/admin, the WPA key is the serial number (S/N: on the sticker below the La Fonera) and the SSIDs are called 'MyPlace' and 'FON_AP'
4. Check, if you can connect to 'MyPlace' and if you can access the Management Console. Check if everything is back to its default value, so you can see the reset hat succeed.
   1. If you need a special configuration settings (like 'static IP's' or a 'PPPoE settings') please change these settings now.
5. Power off the La Fonera, and plug it in again Ethernet cable.
6. Switch on the La Fonera.
7. Now the La Fonera is booting. As it is running with the default firmware from the factory it will download the latest firmware version, as soon the internet connection is established. (the update can take up to 45 minutes, please do not interrupt process, as it would definitely damage the La Fonera).
8. During the update the WLAN and Internet LEDs will switch on and off a couple of times. The FON_AP signal may appear some times, but you won't get connected.
9. When the process has ended, both signals appear continuously and you can connect to both on them.
