I have a question re: the procedure for doing a complete factory reset:
At How do I reset my Synology Router? - Synology Knowledge Center it states: "Data on Synology Router will remain intact after a soft or hard reset. However, we suggest backing up your data before the reset to avoid any unexpected data loss."
That does NOT sound like a full factory reset to me, since data remains on the router. When I bought it - in factory condition (i.e., brand new) - obviously none of my data was on the router.
Are they simply referring to FACTORY data - i.e., simply saying that original firmware will remain on the router? As it's worded, it sounds a little confusing. If I do a factory (hard) reset, I would expect it to be in the condition it was when I brought it home from the store in brand new/unused condition.
Please advise...thanks!
