Upgrading your Asus WL-300g access point

Just a little heads up for anyone owning an Asus access point. I spent the day at Brenda's today and their access needed a firmware upgrade. After a first failed attempt (upgrading the access point over the wireless connection is a bad idea and crashed the web management interface, requiring a reboot) I managed to succesfully upgrade the access point.

Yet, even though the upgrade page claimed that "all settings will be preserved", after upgrading we had a brand new (unencrypted) wireless network in town, with an SSID of "Broadcom" (wasn't this an Asus device?). So much for saving our settings... But, not only did it throw away our wireless settings, also the administrator password went out the window. Better yet, apparently it was not replaced with the default "admin/admin" password, since that didn't work.

So, your effectively locked out of your own acces point. That's bad points for Asus there... But if you should find yourself in this same situation, don't panic! Just press the reset button on the back of your AP to restore it to factory default settings. Tada, it works again, and since it trashed your settings anyway, you don't lose anything :-)
