   And having downloaded the manual from   
   http://www.manualowl.com/m/Linksys/WRT54G/Download/4582   
   it seems that the way to do a factory reset is:   
   "Reset  There are two ways to reset the Router’s   
   factory defaults. Either press and hold the Reset   
   Button for approximately five seconds, or restore   
   the    defaults    from    Administration > Factory   
   Defaults in the Router’s web-based utility. "
