If you have tried to login to the ATEL ALR-U270 router interface and have been unsuccessful it might be time to reset the ATEL ALR-U270 router back to the original factory settings.

A reset like this one is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot the ATEL ALR-U270 router you cycle the power to the unit. When you reset the ATEL ALR-U270 router you take all the settings that have been changed and return them all to factory default settings.

Warning: Resetting this device is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We strongly recommend trying other methods of fixing the problem you are having before deciding on a reset. Once you have tried other options you should create a list of all the settings you may of changed in the past such as:

  • The router interface username and password.
  • The WiFi information such as SSID and Internet password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider username and password. Call your ISP for the details.
  • If you have made any other changes such as port forwards or IP address changes these are erased as well and need to be reconfigured.

This is the reset page from your ATEL ALR-U270 router.

While the router is on take a straightened paperclip or other small object and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold this reset button down for long enough you end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Remember this reset is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed on the ATEL ALR-U270 router. We strongly recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you continue.

Login to the ATEL ALR-U270

Once you've reset the ATEL ALR-U270 router you'll want to log into it. This is done by using the factory default username and password provided for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: Defaults not working for you? It could be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Now that you've reset and logged into your router we suggest setting a new password for it. Keep in mind that this password will only protect your router settings, not your wireless network. Still, setting a strong password is always a good idea. For help in doing so be sure to take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Avoid losing your new password by writing it on a slip of paper and attaching it to the underside of your router.
