In this guide I will cover how to reset your Arcor EasyBox-A300 router. It needs to be noted that a reset is different than a reboot. Rebooting a device is cycling the power by turning it off and back on again. Resetting is almost as easy but has more drastic consequences.

Warning: Resetting this Arcor EasyBox-A300 router will erase everything you have done to it in the past. Please consider the following before continuing.

  • Your router's main username and password are reset.
  • The WiFi username/SSID and password are reset as well.
  • If you use a DSL line into your router for Internet the ISP (Internet Service Provider) username and password need to be re-entered. Call your ISP for these details.
  • Any and all configurations you have made will be erased. This could include firewall settings, port forwards, or even IP address changes.

Setup WiFi on the Arcor EasyBox-A300

The last setting we are addressing in this guide is the WiFi security. Some router companies like to leave the security open as default. This means there is no security.
