This guide will show you how to reset your AirTies Air5452 router back to factory defaults. This isn't the same thing as rebooting the router. Rebooting your router refers to turning it off and back on again to cycle the power. Resetting the router takes all the settings and reverts them back to factory settings.

Warning: This can cause problems if you are unprepared for what changes in a reset. Please consider the following:

  • The router's main username and password are reset to factory defaults.
  • Your WiFi username and password are reset.
  • If you are using a DSL connection you need to re-enter your ISP information. If you fail to do this you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
  • All configurations such as firewalls and port forwards 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.

While the router is turned on flip it over so you are looking at the back panel. Most reset buttons are located here.

This is the reset page from your AirTies Air5452 router.

Once you have located the reset button. Press and hold it for 10 seconds using a pin or unfolded paperclip.

During the reset process, do not unplug or turn off the AirTies Air5452 router. Doing so could cause permanent damage to the device.

Note: Resetting your device will erase everything you have done to your router. Make sure you have tried other troubleshooting options before attempting a reset.

Login to the AirTies Air5452

After the reset process is complete you need to login to your AirTies Air5452 router using the factory default username and password. We have these included in our AirTies Air5452 Login Guide.

Change Your Password

Next it would be a good idea to change your router's default password to something you create. This password can be just about anything you come up with. If you need help creating a strong password check out our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: Take this new password and write it down on piece of paper. Then attach it to the bottom of the router for future reference.

Setup WiFi on the AirTies Air5452

Lastly it's very important that you check on your WiFi security settings. Some router companies leave the security open or disabled as the default. This means anyone in range can use your Internet with or without your permission. We strongly recommend that you change this immediately to WPA2-PSK. For step by step instructions, read this How to Setup WiFi on the AirTies Air5452 guide.
