They're padding the time & removing the variables
(having you remove the cables)
IMHO.
Standard was on the old wrt54 series to pull the power
out, push & hold the
reset, plug in power, release reset after 30sec. From
that point it was factory
without any more cycling or cable swapping.
Of course they've been fracking all devices since the
54GS v4 so they could have
changed procedures.
Thank electron gods for DD-WRT.
