On this page we will show you how to reset your 100Fio-Networks Station-M5 router to the original factory defaults. There is some confusion on the difference between resetting and rebooting a router. Rebooting is simply turning your router off and then back on again to cycle the power. Resetting the router takes away all your personal configurations and resets them to factory settings.
Warning: Since this deletes all your configurations you have made you need to be careful. Below is a partial list of some things may need to be reconfigured.
- the router username and password
- the Internet username and password
- ISP information such as username and password
- any port forwards or firewall settings you have made.
