  Generally, these small devices have a "reset to factory condition" 
procedure.  There's a small hole in the back, often somewhere near the power 
connector.  You disconnect the power, insert the end of a straightened 
paperclip into the little hole to depress a microswitch, and hold it there 
while you reconnect the power and wait for up to 30 seconds.
  Now you can re-do the configuration from scratch, avoiding whatever 
misstep scambled things the first time around.
