If you're talking about reinstalling the router's firmware, you probably are
already running the final available software. Microsoft stopped producing
the product a couple years ago and has not issued new firmware for probably
two years. You can administer the router by going to a computer which is
connected (wired) to it and using the 192.168.2.1 IP address of the router
in your browser address line.
If you want to reset the router back to factory specs, there is a small
pinhole on the back side near the antenna. Insert the point of a ball point
pen or unfolded paperclip in the hole and keep pressing it in until your get
flashing orange lights. That normally takes about five seconds.
As far as removing the connection on a computer, go into Network
Connections, right-click the connection representing your Local Area
Connection and select "Delete." Then exit and restart the computer, and go
back into Network Connections and Create a new connection.
