[GRLUG] Linksys router security setup

[Bob Kline]

The one roughly useful piece of information in the "documentation" says
pressing the button for one second puts the box in a mode "accepting
new clients."   Pressing it for five seconds does a reset.


After the one second press,  the light flickers on and off rapidly, and
is white when it's on.
