#  A Hard Reset:  
#  1.  Hold reset for 30 seconds with the router powered on.
#  2.  STILL holding it, pull the power cord for 30 seconds.
#  3.  Still holding it, plug the router back in and continue to hold the reset button for 30 more seconds. 
#   You hold reset for 90 seconds.
#
#  Note: WRT54GS v1.1, GS v2, and GS2.1 models can brick after a hard reset no matter how it is done.
