Yes, but you will just have to set it up again like you did the first time.
If you have DSL then setup the internet connection as PPPOE and type in your ISP Username and Password.
If you are using Cable then select the Dynamic IP as your internet connection and that should be it.

If you reset the router it will restore the factory settings. Wireless access may or may not be turned on. Just look for a network named "linksys" in your list of available wireless networks after you reset the router. Just keep in mind that it is not advisable to configure a wireless router wirelessly. Your best bet is to reset the wireless router and plug into it with a CAT 5 cable and then configure it for wireless access.

If you reset the router, it will go back to the original factory defaults. You will just need to set it back up. If you reset it, it will default to Password: admin. Also, it will still be able to connect wirelessly, but if you had any settings you changed or modified, these will need to be updated again, which is fairly straightforward using the setup disk or by going to the remote management tool at 192.168.1.1

You will lose your settings, check before you do that you have your isp login details. You will then need to log in to the router from your browser uing a cable connection. Set it up with a new ssid and encryption key. Then set a new admin password. You will then have to use each pcs wireless utility to find the new ssid and set the new key.
