How to reset a Linksys (router) wap54g

If you have a Linksys product (router or WAP) and you can't seem to get the normal factory reset procedure to work (holding the reset button for 10 seconds), then try this procedure:

1. Disconnect all Ethernet connections behind the router but leave power on (modem and computers)
2. Press and hold the reset button for 30 sec., after that...
3. Unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for another 5 sec.
4. Then, plug back the power keep holding down the reset button for 5 sec., after that
5. Release the reset button.
6. Power off router for 30 sec.

Also, do this after any firmware upgrade and reconfigure your device.
Try this also, if your device seems to be crashed or acting weird.

If this works for you, drop me a line.
