On this page we will show you how to reset your A-Link WNAP4G router to it's original factory defaults. This is different than rebooting the router which simply consists of turning it off and then back on again.

Warning: There are some things to consider before continuing. Resetting the router erases everything you have done to it previously. This includes:

  • Resetting the router's main username and password to factory defaults.
  • Resetting the Internet SSID/username and password to factory defaults.
  • Erasing any ISP information such as username and password. If you are unsure of what this includes you need to call your ISP.
  • Erasing all personal configurations you have made to the router such as firewalls or port forwards.
