In this guide we will show you how to reset your Arris DG1670A router back to factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is a simply cycle in the power to the device. All you need to do is unplug the device, wait about 15 seconds, then plug the router back in. A reset erases all your personalized settings and returns the whole thing back 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.
