This guide is covering how to reset the Arris NVG595 ATnT router. Resetting a router is different than rebooting a router. Rebooting refers to cycling the power by turning the device off and back on again. Resetting a router is erasing all of your changes you have made and reverting the device to factory settings.
Warning: Resetting the router shouldn't be done all the time. Resetting the router has consequences. Please consider the following:
- The router's username and password are reset.
- The Internet password and SSID/username are reset.
- If you connect to the Internet using DSL you need to know the ISP username and password. To find out what these are you need to call your ISP or Internet Service Provider.
- All configurations you have made in the past are erased. Depending on what you have done this could include firewall adjustments, port forwards, or even IP address changes.
