[PLUG] ER-X: change login, save, reboot, cannot connect

[Russell Senior]

I matched the configuration you sent me, exactly, with the two exceptions I
explicitly mentioned. The wizard was not needed and is what stomped on the
configuration I had set up, and indeed was probably not what you wanted. As
Tomas suggested, the wizard you clicked on was probably to set up one WAN
and two LANs. You only need one (or only needed one in the configuration
you sent me, and you didn't tell me any different). If you can get to the
web interface, you shouldn't need to try to reset it. If you get a
192.168.1.x address through DHCP, the router will be at 192.168.1.1 (not
.4). Try there.
