SR203 Router - Access Point Temporarily Full

[Cbennyr]

I'm decorating and needed to move my reasonably new (6 months) SR203 router. This meant unplugging it from the mains, something I've done plenty of times before. 

However, today, nothing will connect with it when I plugged everything back in. I keep getting the message "Access Point Temporarily Full". I don't see how this can be the case, given that we only have a total of 9 devices on our network and there has never been an issue since. All lights are green on the router.

I've seen a couple of posts saying that it resolves itself after a short while, but it's been 7 hours and no change. I can't even log into the router to see if I can update firmware or do a hard reset, because it won't let anything connect to it. 

At my wits end.

@CbennyrIf you have not done any custom settings you can try holding the reset button in for 20 seconds and see if that enables you to access the router.

@Highlinder Thanks for the tip. When you say custom settings, I assume this includes changing the network name and login details etc, and that holding the reset button just means that these will be wiped clean? 

I can set everything back up again, so if that's all it takes to fix it I'm happy to do it.

Thanks

@CbennyrYes that is what I meant about custom settings, it will go back to defaults for logging into the router.

@Highlinder Thanks very much for this. Haven't had chance to do it before now, but it worked! I had customised a bit, but I just went in and changed it all back to what it was and all of my devices reconnected without me having to input anything into them. Much appreciated!

@CbennyrHappy that it all worked out for you.
