hard reset question

[Ksmith]

Does unplugging the router then plugging it back in while holding the wps button for 5 seconds both clear nvram and reset to factory defaults? this is what i have been doing when changing to a sdk5 build. Is this right?

This is from the DD-WRT Wiki for the RT-N66U:

Know your hardware buttons

Reset button: pressing the Reset button while power-up, will put this ASUS router in recovery mode.

That is: press and hold the reset button, keep pressing the reset button while plugging in the power, then keep holding the reset button pressed for about ten seconds until the power led is blinking slowly, then release the reset button. The router is now in recovery mode.

WPS button: pressing the Red WPS button while power-up, will clear the NVRAM. All settings are stored in NVRAM of this ASUS router. Clearing the NVRAM is the most efficient way to reset the router to default settings.

That is: press and hold the WPS button, keep pressing the WPS button while plugging in the power, then keep holding the WPS button pressed for about ten seconds, then release the WPS button. All settings have now been wiped, and default settings will be used.

Can one assume the same process holds true for the AC66 and the AC68 ?

Exactly the same for my ac66 and used by a co-worker on his ac68 when it went crazy
