In this guide I will be showing you how to reset the AirLive WT-2000ARM router to factory defaults. This is not the same as rebooting the router which is turning it off and back on again. Resetting the router is a more drastic measure as it will erase all of the settings you have changed in the router.

Warning: Do not reset the router until you have tried other methods of troubleshooting. Resetting the router can cause problems if you are unaware of the setting a reset will affect.

  • The router username and password are reset to factory.
  • The WiFi username and password are reset as well.
  • If you have a DSL connection you need to reenter the ISP username and password.
  • All configurations such as firewalls, port forwards and even IP address changes are erased.

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.

Using a unfolded paperclip or pin press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds. When you release the button the reset process begins. Do not unplug or turn off the router during this process as it could damage the router permanently.
