In this guide we show you how to reset the AmpliFi HD Mesh router back to the original factory defaults.
This is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot simply cycles the power to the device. You can do this by unplugging the device and plugging it back in after about 30 seconds.
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.
