Let's discuss how to reset the Ambit U10C022 router. Resetting a router is different than rebooting a router. Rebooting is cycling the power and is accomplished by turning off the device and turning it back on. Resetting a router is almost as easy but has a lot more consequences.

Warning: Resetting a router is a serious step to be taken. Resetting a router can cause unwanted problems if you don't know what changes take place during the process. Below is a partial list of some of the things that are changed in a reset.

  • The router's main password and username are reverted back to factory defaults.
  • The WiFi SSID/username and password are reset as well.
  • If you use a DSL connection to get your Internet you will need to re-enter your ISP username and password. To get this information you need to call your ISP.
  • Any changes you have made to your router such as port forwards, firewalls, or even IP address changes will need to be reconfigured after the reset process is complete.

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.

The first step is to make sure your router is on and stays on during the reset process. Do not unplug or turn off the Ambit U10C022 router during the reset process as it could cause permanent damage.

Now take a look at the back panel of the Ambit U10C022. It should look similar to the image below.

Remember this is going to erase everything you have done to your router. Make sure you have exhausted all other troubleshooting methods before attempting a reset.

Login to the Ambit U10C022

Once you have completed the reset process for the Ambit U10C022 router you need to login using the default username and password associated with this router. We have compiled these for you in our Ambit U10C022 Login Guide.

Change Your Password

Now that you have logged into the Ambit U10C022 you need to change that default password you just used. This can be just about anything you like but keep it strong. If you have difficulty creating new strong passwords take a look at our Choosing a Strong Password guide. This guide is full of helpful ideas for you.

Tip: After creating a new password you need to write it down somewhere you won't lose it. We recommend writing this new password down on a slip of paper and attaching it to the bottom of the router for the next time you need to login to your router.

Setup WiFi on the Ambit U10C022

The last setting we recommend you change as soon as possible is the WiFi security. Some router manufacturers like to leave the security open or disabled as the default setting. This needs to be changed right away. We recommend setting the security to WPA2-PSK for the strongest security available right now. If you need help doing this check out our How to Setup WiFi on the Ambit U10C022 guide.
