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, 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 How to configure network settings on WRN-1632(S), WRN-816S, and WRN-2110SB1.

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, 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:

On the WRN, open Chrome and download WRN-Reset.zip.
Select the file and click Extract.

Alternatively:

Open a Terminal window.
Run the following commands to extract the script:
cd Downloads
unzip WRN-Reset.zip
In the same Terminal window, enter sudo -s <enter>
Enter the password for the WAVE user and click Enter.
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.

After the reboot is complete, 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:

Copy the WRN-Reset.zip file to a USB drive and insert the drive into the WRN's USB port.
Open the Files (nautilus) application.
In the device tree, hover your mouse over the USB drive to view its path.
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.
After the reboot is completed, 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:

To modify the WRN routing table, click the Terminal icon.
In the same Terminal window, enter sudo -s <enter>
Enter the password for the WAVE user and press Enter.
Enter crontab -e <enter>
If you are prompted to select an editor, select 1 and click Enter.
Scroll to the end of the file and add the following line: @reboot sleep 5 && sudo route del default dev eth1
Press Ctrl + O to save the file.
Press Enter to accept the file name and save.
Press Ctrl + X to exit the editor.
Reboot the unit.
