You can setup a default script to be used during Netinstall. This will default it back to "YOUR" original settings. No matter how many times they default/reset it, it will go back to the way you set it up using a script during Netinstall.

Excluding having the customer do work, the MT options. If you have MT as your wireless CPE - you're screwed if it is defaulted. Default config will not set wlan1 so it must be manually done. If you have another device as wireless (Canopy) and then your customer router is a MT. You have layer 2 connectivity to it...have at it. If it was misconfigured then we're looking at a business strategy problem rather then a technical problem...
