In this guide we talk about resetting the Asus TM-AC1900 router to factory defaults. There is confusion about the difference between resetting a router and rebooting a router. When the word reboot is used it means cycling the power by turning it off and back on again. Resetting a router is referring to reverting all configurations back to factory settings.

Warning: Do not reset your router until you have thoroughly considered the consequences. We have a partial list of what will be changed after resetting your router.

  • The router interface username and password are reset.
  • The WiFi security is reset meaning a default Internet password, SSID, and security method.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password in order to access the Internet after the reset.
  • All configurations are erased. This could include port forwards, IP address changes, or firewall changes.
