Press and hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds until the eth4 LED starts flashing and then becomes solidly lit. After a few seconds, the LED will turn off, and the EdgeRouter will automatically reboot. • Power-on reset Disconnect power from the EdgeRouter. Press and hold the Reset button while connecting power to the EdgeRouter. The port LEDs will light up in sequential order. Keep holding the Reset button until the LED on the last port starts flashing, and then release the button." Which did you do? You realize that it will go back to the state where you need to connect to eth0 and set a static IP on 192.168.1.x/24 (where x not equal 1), and then connect to 192.168.1.1 and restore the config I sent you. > None of this makes any sense.
