Hello,
I have a RT-AC66R.
I'm now using RT-AC66U_3.0.0.4_354.28-Beta1.
I'm trying to learn about this router.
I read that there are several methods to reset to default settings.
I would like if someone could explain me the difference.
Does all this methods clear all the settings? Does all this methods clear the NVRAM?
Thanks!

1. With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
2. Wihout releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
3. Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds (please note that this step can put Asus devices into recovery mode...see note below!)

With the WPS button:
I'd push the button while the router is powered on
Then cut the power for 30-seconds
Then power-up while still depressing the WPS button.
