Erase personal info on Sky router?

I want to return or recycle my Sky router/modem (ER110) as I have switched broadband providers. Does the router contain any personal information (aside from the now obsolete wifi password)? If so, how to erase?

@PTFarnsworth not sure what personal information the router would hold but if you are worried you should be able to reset the router to its factory settings, I can't remember if the ER110 has a button on the back or a pinhole to do this

Thanks a lot, indeed there is a button, I will give it a push.

@PTFarnsworth Hubs don't have any of your personal details stored, they simp,y don't have the anility to store anything like that, they are purely designed to allow access to the WWW via a gateway.
