In this guide we will walk you through the steps on how to reset the Asus DSL-N12U B1 router. A reset is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is a simple cycle in the power to the device. A reset will erase all your personalized settings as well as cycle the power.
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.
We strongly recommend that you exhaust your other troubleshooting methods before you decide to reset the router.
