This guide covers how to reset the Arcadyan ARV7519 router to factory defaults. There is confusion about the difference between rebooting a router and resetting a router. To reboot a router is simply cycling the power by turning it off and back on again. Resetting a router is almost as easy to do but has more consequences.

Warning: This reset can cause problems and headaches if you are unaware of what it will change. Please consider the following before you continue.

  • The router's main username and password are reset to factory defaults.
  • The WiFi username and password are reset as well.
  • If using a DSL connection you need to re-enter the ISP information. If you don't know what these are call your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
  • Everything is reverted back to factory settings. This includes port forwards, firewall changes, and even IP address changes.

The next step after resetting the router is to login to the graphical user interface using the default username and password that came from the factory. We have found these for you and are in our Arcadyan ARV7519 Login Guide.

Change Your Password

After you have successfully logged into your Arcadyan ARV7519 router you should change the router's password. It really doesn't matter what you enter here but we recommend making it a strong password. To do this you can check out our Strong Password Guide for tips.

Tip: Write this new password down on a slip of paper and tape it to the bottom of the router for safe keeping.

Setup WiFi on the Arcadyan ARV7519

The last setting we will go over right now is the WiFi security. This has also been reset and some router companies like to leave the security disabled as the default. If this is the case for the Arcadyan ARV7519 it means there is no security. We strongly recommend changing this to WPA2-PSK for a strong encryption method. We have instructions on how to do this in our How to Setup WiFi on the Arcadyan ARV7519 guide.
