In this guide I will show you how to reset the AirTies Air5452FT router to factory defaults. This is different than rebooting the router which means to cycle the power. You do this by turning the router off and back on again. Resetting the AirTies Air5452FT router erases all your configurations and reverts it back to how it was from the factory.

Warning: Resetting the router is serious and should not be done unless you have considered the following:

  1. The router username and password are reset.
  2. The Internet SSID and password are reset.
  3. If you use a DSL connection you need to re-enter the ISP username and password in order to continue using the Internet.
  4. Any configurations such as firewalls, port forwards and even IP address changes will be 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.

First make sure the AirTies Air5452FT router is turned on.

Don't forget that resetting the router erases all your configurations and should only be done after you have tried to fix the problem in other ways.
