This guide shows you step-by-step how to reset your router to factory defaults. This is different than rebooting which consists of turning your router off and then back on again.
Warning: Resetting your router can cause unexpected problems. Take the following into consideration before you continue:
- The router's main username and password will be reset to the original factory defaults.
- The WiFi username and password will also be reset to how they were from the factory.
- If your ISP requires a username and password this will need to be re-entered before you can access the Internet again.
- Any personal changes you have made to your router such as firewalls or port forwards need to be reconfigured.
