Jeff,
Can not speak for Linksys, but even netgear mentions the immediate power
off after any kind of "reset." I've done it twice today with my old
brick.
I can only suspect they want the PS caps to fully discharge (to zero v) so
the logic can do its magic and set all those very small rom
capacitors.....(?). I know it sounds weird, but just try it....... :)
Best,
Duncan

my primary problem was a intermittent connection, that would eventually
fail, and often pull the other routers down with it. Then I would have to
reboot all the routers and set them up again.
Running a wired BEFSR41 with a wireless WRT54GS I had no problem. The
problems, for me, came when I hooked up WRT546 as my wireless router. Of
course I can use either the 54GS or the 546 as wired and wireless but
only the 54GS can see my LAN. It is a security to protect my LAN/data.
You know the unique Linksys way of resetting their routers to default?
Remove any CAT5/ . With it powered on you press the reset button and hold
it for a FULL 30 seconds.
Then release it and immediately pull the power on the Router.
Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Plug it in
It will be back at factory settings.
Are you sure about that? Every Linksys I've dealt with you just had to
hold the reset button in 30 seconds (I've never seen mention of cabling or
pulling the power.) And I have trouble imagining that you would have to
wait five minutes for the reset to work (I've never had to wait.) I can
see with a badly screwed router letting it sit unplugged overnight as a
last resort, but I've never had to let it sit just to do a reset.
