There is a pinhole on the back of the unit, to reset it. If i push it, what can i expect to happen? How do i reinstall it or whatever. What will happen to a lap top that was connected to it before? Will the Laptop work with no more adjustments or is there something else that will have to be done on the laptop so that it will work with the reset router? This is all wireless BTW.

if you push that pinhole in the back...make sure you got all your (ethernet etc. password)numbers to type back in...do it only as the last resort...how long have you had the router???

To do a simple reset, all you may need to do is unplug the unit, let it set a couple of minutes, then plug it back in.
If you want to do a full reset, you need to unplug the unit, press a paperclip into the pinhole, and while holding the reset button down, plug in the unit. Then keep holding in the button for at least 30 seconds. After that, the router should be fully reset to its defaults, which means you will have to reconfigure the router to the way you had it before.

Resetting the router will return it to it's default state. you will lose all your settings including the SSID(network name), WEP password, etc.
