Re: SB5101 - "Restore Factory Defaults"
You're fine; resetting does not clear-out the firmware; it just restarts the modem.
That's a good way to "soft restart" your modem w/o actually pulling the plug. (Think of it as a Cntl-Alt-Del reboot for your modem)
Every time a modem restarts, it compares it's currently installed firmware to what that the ISP says it needs to use.
If there's a mismatch, the proper version is automatically downloaded from the ISP and installed.
If there's no mismatch (as in your case) the modem just continues it's normal boot-up sequence. |
