What happens while the modem is factory resetting?
Updated
During a factory reset the lights on your modem will flash and ALL settings will be cleared from your modem, including: Usernames and passwords, WiFi name and password, port forwarding, firewall rules and any other custom settings.
This returns the device to an "out of the box" state, as if it were brand new.
After a Factory reset has been executed there are generally 4 lights we are concerned with:
