Shola's Home Gadgets

Update May 2008 The article originally linked to in this post is no longer available on the internet, and I can't find a replacement. I don't have this ADSL router anymore, so am unable to retrace the steps to reset this router.

Recently I had a software problem with one of my home gadgets the Conexant AMX CA61E ADSL Router, that required a hardware reset to put it back to the factory defaults.

Luckily I found the following Reset the Conexant AMX CA61E ADSL Router article which gave me all the information I needed.

Unfortunately, I was missing pictures, so it took me about 15 minutes to find the actual jumper that needed shorting, so I've decided to take some pictures of the Conexant AMX CA61E ADSL Router to help anyone who needs to do this in the future.

The picture below shows underneath the Conexant AMX CA61E ADSL Router, with a hole made in the label to gain access to the screw holding the unit together. You will need a Philips (star/cross) screwdriver to open the unit.


Once you open the unit, you will see the circuit board as shown below. Click on the photo to see a higher resolution version, with jumper J7 circled.


A close-up of the J7 jumper is shown below.


Finally the picture below shows how you short the jumper following the instructions in the Reset the Conexant AMX CA61E ADSL Router article.


Once you have completed the hardware reset, you will need to re-configure your Conexant AMX CA61E ADSL Router.
