      Re: How do i reset the netgate sg-1100 with the factory reset button?

      Hey guys,
      I've restored configuration from another pfSense where the serial was disabled... Then I failed to configure network interfaces while device was still accessible and after reboot I can't get back any connection to it as the serial was disabled in the config I've used to restore... Any ideas how to do Factory reset using some hard reset approach?

        The serial console should always be forced on for that device even if the GUI option was disabled. Maybe the config had a different serial speed selected and you need to adjust your serial client to match?

          You would still see output from uboot at the serial console if it's connected correctly.
