| SB5101 - "Restore Factory Defaults" Hello
I'm wondering if it was a bad thing to go to the configuration page on my SB5101, and hit the "Restore Factory Defaults" button, and then the "restart cable modem" button.
I was just playing (and clearing my logs), but I remember when it was first initialized by my ISP, the logs said something like "the software download was successful" (or something like that).
And now I see no such entry...only some typical errors (T3 timeouts, etc).
I did notice though, that the Firmware remains the same both before and after I was "playing around" with it:
Software Version: SB5101N-2.6.4.0-GA-00-NOSH
Hardware Version: 1
MIB Version: II
GUI Version: 1.0
And I'm back on-line and everything is fine.
Should I have left the thing alone, or is it ok to do that for the heck of it?
I guess my real question is, would doing that get rid of the firmware the ISP sent out, and put it back to the way it came from the factory?
Like I said, the firmware stayed the same anyway...just wondering.
Sorry for the dumb question, and thanks for any responses. |
