What happens when you reset your router to factory settings?
My router is having problems and I am going to hold down the reset button in the back to reset it to factory settings. After I do that, will I have to reconfigure the router to connect to the internet and is it complicated to do so? Or will the router automatically connect using default settings?

1. Don't! It does not fix anything unless you have messed up its' settings. And it totally stops all your Internet. You would then need to reconfigure EVERYTHING from ISP login to wireless encryption. Check why it is not working. Are there other routers in the area on the same channel? Have you moved the router? Is it the line disconnecting or the wireless? Have you unplugged the router power for 5 minutes, then powered it up again? Otherwise you can be making it far worse.
