Well - sort of a conclusion.  By cabling the way Jim suggested I was able 
to browse the lan and the Internet.  I could not, though get back to the 
router's setup pages to configure the wireless part - and that was the 
original reason for buying the unit.  I could ping other boxes on the lan, 
but I could not get any reply from the IP that I believed the router to be 
set to.  After a lot of experimentation, all failing, I had a long 
conversation today with Acer's tech support.  The upshot is that, as I 
suspected, the factory default reset is not working.  Neither the man I 
spoke to or the colleagues he consulted could think of any way of 
ascertaining the IP that the router is using.  Since it has failed within 
5 days of purchase it is now officially DOA.  I have to pack it up for 
courier collection.  Hopefully in a few days I will be able to report 
success with a replacement or repaired box.
