Reset: How to reset System Components?

[rAcKShen]

After a reset via the Web interface (or a change of the operating mode from Router to Extender), the components are not reset. Is there any trick to reset the components as well, except going for a Recovery?

@rAcKShen A factory firmware comes with a minimal set of components. You may install it from the cloud by the following commands:

components list
components preset minimal
components commit

First command gets a components list from a server. Each component may be included in a specific preset. For example, "base" component is in "minimal" and "recommended" presets:

        component:
                 name: base

...

               preset: minimal

               preset: recommended

Second command selects components from the "minimal" preset only.
Third runs a cloud request and installs the firmware with the selected components.

No. The reset feature sets the default configuration for currently installed components, it does not change the component set.
You can change the set using a manual or cloud update only.

OK.

If anyone comes by and still has the default set of components—of a Keenetic Carrier (EU)—please, share your ‘components’ via show version.

Great, in my case, ‘recommended’ was my factory default. I knew those commands from the command-line documentation. However, I thought ‘minimal’ is the absolute minimum. A misunderstanding. Furthermore, I thought ‘recommended’ is some crazy big super-set. However, at least in my case, ‘recommended’ was the state when I started with my Keenetic. And ‘minimal’ is just a bit less, four components:

1. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) Client,
2. Media Server (DLNA),
3. DNS-over-HTTPS proxy, and
4. DNS-over-TLS proxy.

Although the part about the languages a bit confusing: I am allowed to install not more than three languages but when I click on that ‘minimal’ or ‘recommended’ button in the Web interface (or go for our commands), I get all languages (back). Anyway, my Keenetic is now as near to factory again as possible. 😀

The initial setup wizard (if You used it) updated the component set to the recommended one.
