How do I reset WRN-810S and WRN-1610S?

  • Updated

Applies to Models:  WRN-810S, WRN-1610S

Summary

If you have network interface issues on the WRN-810S or WRN-1610S and need to reset the interfaces, you can use the attached script to correct the problem. This script removes the interfaces created by the WRN setup wizard and reconfigures the interfaces on reboot.

For the newer WRN-1632(S) and WRN-816S, follow the instructions in Configuring network settings WRN-1632(S) and WRN-816S.

Resetting the Interfaces

NOTE: You will need a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and the attached 
script. The script can be downloaded directly to the unit or 
copied to a USB drive. If you do not have internet access from 
the WRN, it is recommended to follow the USB instructions.

There are two options to put the script onto your WRN:

  • Download the script to the WRN unit using Chrome
  • Move the script to the WRN unit using a USB drive

Using Chrome

To download the script to the WRN unit using Chrome:

  1. On the WRN, open Chrome and navigate to this article: How do I reset WRN-810S and WRN-1610S?

  2. Scroll to the bottom of the article and click WRN-Reset.zip, then click the Download button and select Extract.

Alternatively:

  1. Open a Terminal window.



  2. Run the following commands to extract the script:

    cd Downloads
    unzip WRN-Reset.zip



  3. In the same Terminal window, enter sudo -s <enter>
  4. Enter the password for the WAVE user and press Enter.

  5. Enter bash WRN-Reset.sh.


    NOTE: You will NOT see the characters as you type.
    The network configuration will be reset and the unit will reboot. 



  6. After the reboot is completed, you can run the WRN Configuration Tool or use the Ubuntu Configuration Tool to configure the network interface IP addresses.  
    NOTE: It is recommended to use the WRN Configuration Tool when 
    available as opposed to the initial WRN Setup Wizard to prevent 
    issues in the future.

Using a USB Stick

To move the script to the WRN unit using a USB drive:

  1. Copy the WRN-Reset.zip file to a USB drive and insert the drive into the WRN's USB port.

  2. Open the Files (nautilus) application.



  3. In the device tree, hover your mouse over the USB drive to view its path.



  4. In a Terminal window, navigate to that location, unzip the file, and run the script.



    The network configuration will reset and the unit will reboot.  



  5. After the reboot is completed, you can run the WRN Configuration Tool or use the Ubuntu Configuration Tool to configure the network interface IP addresses.  

If you are running the older WRN Setup Wizard, continue to the following steps:

  1. To modify the WRN routing table, click the Terminal icon.

  2. In the same Terminal window, enter sudo -s <enter>
  3. Enter the password for the WAVE user and press Enter.

  4. Enter crontab -e <enter>
  5. If you are prompted to select an editor, select 1 and click Enter.
