E3000 Pressed reset button on back. I just want my old router back :(

Hey all. I have an E3000 router that I love.  One day after coming back from a vacation, I noticed another computer that wasn't mine connected to my network(I live in an apartment complex).  I tried logging into my router but had completely forgotten the login info.  Knowing me I push buttons first, ask questions later and hit the reset button on the back.  Terrible idea, I had no internet connectivity at all wired or wireless.  The only way I could connect was through my modem.  After chatting with Cisco tech support and changing a bunch of ips, dns.  I was able to connect wireless devices.  But something was still missing.  My printer would still not connect, and my NAS was unreachable.  Here is where you guys might help me.  Is there any way to return my E3000 back to its original fresh out of the box state?  I was able to connect everything to it and everything played nicely with each other. Please, I just want my old router back!
Thanks
Eric

Can you tell what is the IP address of the router? the printer and the NAS?

  • I just upgraded to 4 and I get messages to look at all the new stuff, and/or resart previous session. I just want my old Firefox back. How do I do this?

    One of the messages I get says "Now that you've got Firefox 4, learn about all the cool things you can do with your new browser" There are several other little messages that also show up plus the "restart previous session" box. I just want a clean firefox home page to open when I want to use my browser. If I can't get this to stop I'll go back to explorer.

    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

    <p>There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.</p>

  • I want my old iTunes back, I am sick of uninstalling and reinstalling this new version.  I just need my apps for my new iPhone6

    how can I just get my old itunes back.  I am not going to continue uninstalling and reinstalling the new version.  I had it on my computer, and for some reason it crashed and I started this commotion.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the help of Fix It and advice from many people.  Every time I get a new error.  Sick to death of it.  I only need it to sync my apps to my phone and to use iCloud. 
    If anyone can get me back to some other version that I can use, I would really appreciate it.
    I have Windows 7 on my PC

    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described inEmpty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)
    If you have trouble uninstalling or reinstalling see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. The same tip should help you get iTunes 12 installed properly if you want to give it a try.

  • HT201263 I dont want to restore it though i just want it to go back to the way it was

    I tried to update my iphone and its stuck in recovery mode and i dont want to recover it i just want it to go back to the way it was

    The onlhy way is to do exactly what it's prompting you to do..recover it.  You can then restore the more recent backup to get things back to how you wan them.

  • I just downloade FF 5 and I hate it - I want my old version back - whatever it was. Websites take forever to load if at all - then error message. I lost all my settings. How to revert to LAST version. How do I know last version?

    All my settings gone, my 9 most popular visited websites gone. AFter reading through other HELP questions, same thing happened when upgrade to FF4. I want my old version back - and how do I know what my last versionwas?

    I don't know what your previous version was. If it was before version 4 then finding 3.6 or so maybe hard to find. You might run a search on Google for Firefox 3.6.
    Firefox 4 can be downloaded here if you don't have in your download file.

  • Thiis iis not working foro me. i want my old firefox back

    i just got the new firefox 4 installed and cannot do anything with my bookmarks. i don't see an awesome bar nor can i find my minx nail coverings in a bar of any sort. i want my old firefox back cuz this one sucks for me. thank you, jo gurule

    It's different, yes. You can move the home (house) button to the other side if you want to, but it sounds like there are other aspects you don't like either. To downgrade to v3.6.16, please follow these instuctions:
    Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] and download it to the desktop.
    Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

  • Did bug fix for add-ons after downloading new version. FB games do not work & add-ons still gone. I want the old version back. How can I do this?

    Downloaded version 7 today. All add-ons are gone, not disabled, but gone. The bug fix offered in this instance tells me to go look for updates. I have, and I'm totally up to date, so now I don't know what to do. The add-ons are still gone, and my games in FB are also malfunctioning. I click on a button in the game and nothing happens. I can't even play them like this. I have playing all morning, and this only happened AFTER I updated to the latest Firefox browser 7. I want the old version back, but cannot figure out a way to do this. I am mad right now and want the option to go back to the old version. If I can't get it, I guess I'll go back to IE. Thanks....

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When I am using Facebook, all of a sudden with Firefox 4, everything is SO slow. This has happened before. I want the old version back.

    Ever since I switched to Firefox 4, everything is slowing down! I hate this version. I want the old version back. I went to Facebook, it took so long to be able to do anything that I just gave up. This NEVER happened with the old version. I just want to get the old version back. I DO NOT LIKE this new version. Same kinds of problems I had once before when I tried it.

  • HELP! I did an archive and install and I want my old system back

    Hello,
    I had a big problem that actually ended up being a small problem. Unfortunately to try to fix it I did an archive and install. Now I have come to the realization that my Postfix mail setup, my MySQL setup, my PHP setup, my web pages, my Blog are all gone. Now if I go into the "previous system" folder everything seems to be there. Is there a way to just restore the old system to get all that back without having to reconfigure and redo everything?
    I tried to copy the old "Library" back out to the / folder, the problem is that this folder is constantly in use and cannot be replaced.
    Any advice?
    PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 Ghz    

    Joshua:
    You said you did an Archive and Install. You did not say whether this was an upgrade or you were re-installing Tiger.
    I suggest you read the article linked above, if you have not already done so, and it will give you an idea of what happened. If you chose to preserve User Settings, it should all be there in your new Library. All you need to do it move over your data and you'll be fine. Otherwise you can just move over your entire Users Folder and it will have everything you need.
    You said that you want your old system back. I am not sure if you are saying that you want to go to a previous OS, like Panther, or whether you want your computer back the way it was.
    a couple of other points, if I may:
    1. Re-installation, by whatever method, should always be a avenue of last resort. It is the ultimate invasive therapy and likely result in the situation you are in or worse. Every other avenue should be exhausted before resorting to this rememdy.
    2. A good backup strategy is a life saver. During any major procedure, and sometimes without any procedure just of out the blues, your computer can fail and you can lose all your data, your third party apps etc. It is good practice to preferably clone your entire computer to an external Firewire Drive that can also be used as an emergency boot disk.
    OK, I gave you much more information that you requested. However, I hope something I said was helpful in terms of recovering your settings and data. Please post back and let me know.
    Good luck.

  • How do I erase IOS 6? I installed it and now 45 apps can't download! I want my old iPhone back, I hate IOS6

    1. I foolishly agreed to install IOS6. Woke up: my phone told me it had a number of fatal errors
    2. Did a RESTORE in iTunes
    3. Did a second RESTORE
      now I have 45 apps missing -- the apps that make the phone so dear to me --
    I WANT MY OLD IPHONE BACK
    please help
    Thanks

    I'm in the same boat. Updated to ios6 without doing the research first.
    Now I have things that won't sync correctly.
    Went to the Apple store, they were acting like they didn't know how this could be done.
    They make it seem like you can do anything in the world on an iPhone... except get rid of ios6 and go back to 5.1.
    There has to be a way this can be done. With what seems like so many people upset about the new upgrade, either Apple is gonna step up to the plate with a solution or the people are gonna find one.

  • Trouble starting up Pismo - Constantly pressing Reset button

    I'm having some more problems with my Pismo. There are times when, after I shut down, and turn it on the next day, nothing happens. I press CommandControlPower, and that doesn't work, so I have to press the reset button on the back and hold for five seconds, before trying again, at which point the Pismo boots up.
    This is certainly not normal. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happenning?

    If you have to replace the main logic board AND the CPU card AND hard drive, then perhaps a new Mac would be a better option. However, it seems suspect that all of those thing would go bad at the same time.
    "Bad boot sector" - I'm not sure exactly what a "boot sector" is, but I would ask them how they discovered this problem. A bad sector is not a fatal problem for a hard drive, unless it happens to be in the part of the hard drive that stores directory data. Otherwise, the drive can often map out the bad sector(s) during a reformat (using "zero all data" option). At worse, you would replace the hard drive, and getting a new faster quieter bigger hard drive would improve performance. The procedure is not that hard to do yourself.
    "Logic board errors" - Did they give more specific details? I haven't read too many posts here about problems with the logic board. It seems to be a reliable part.
    "Clock battery is dead" - That's a minor problem. My understanding is that on a Pismo, the internal (small) battery is there so that the user can swap out the main battery while the Pismo is in sleep mode. If the main battery is never removed, I don't think you would notice if the internal battery was working or not. Even if you have to get a new battery, that should be an inexpensive part and it's easy to replace (just under the keyboard).
