In this guide I will show you how to reset the Alcatel-Lucent G-240W-B router. This is not a reboot where you are simply cycling the power to the unit by unplugging it and plugging it back in. A reset erases all personalized settings and returns them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting a router is a big step. You need to fully reconfigure the device afterwards. Some of the settings that need to be changed after a reset are:

  • The router's login username and password.
  • The router's Wi-Fi SSID/network name and password.
  • If this is a DSL router, you need to re-enter the ISP (Internet Service Provider) username and password. Call your ISP for these details.
  • Any port forwarding, scheduling, or IP addresses you have changed.

While the router is on, take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 5 seconds to begin the reset process which can sometimes take up to several minutes to complete.

Warning: Do not unplug or turn off the router during the reset process. Doing so can cause permanent damage to the device.

Login to the Alcatel-Lucent G-240W-B

After the reset is completed you need to login to the router using the default values. If you are unsure of what these are, follow our Alcatel-Lucent G-240W-B Login Guide.

Change Your Password

It is a good idea to change the router's username and password after logging in for the first time. Most default usernames and passwords are very easy to guess.

To help you create a good password follow the directions on our Choosing a Strong Password page.

TIP: Avoid losing this password by writing it down and sticking it to the router for next time.
