In this guide I will show you how to reset the Ambit U10C019 router. This is not the same thing as rebooting the router which is simply turning the device off and back on again. Resetting is erasing everything you've done to the router and starting over from factory defaults.

Warning: Some caution needs to be followed when resetting a router. Problems could arise if you are unaware of what a reset will do. Take a look at the following list of things that will change.

  • The router's username and password are reset.
  • The WiFi SSID and password are reset.
  • If you use a DSL connection you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. If you are unsure of these details you need to check with your ISP.
  • All configurations you have made in your router's interface will be erased. This could include port forwards and IP address changes.

The last setting we recommend you change as soon as possible is the WiFi security. This is reset as well and can be open as the default.
