This guide will take you through the steps in resetting your router. This is not the same thing as rebooting which is simply cycling the power by turning the router off and then back on again. Resetting your router will erase all of the changes you have made reverting it back to the original factory defaults.

Warning: This is going to erase everything you have done to your router in the past. Do not reset your router until you have exhausted all other troubleshooting options. Some things that will change are:

  • the router's main username and password
  • the Internet SSID and password
  • ISP username and password
  • firewall settings and port forwards

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

NordVPN is the fastest VPN!

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

While your router is turned on flip it over so you are looking at the back of it.

Change Your Password

Tip: It's a good idea to write this new password down on a sticky-note and paste it to the bottom of the router for next time you need to login to your router web interface.
