In this guide we will show you how to reset the Ativa AWGR54 router. There is confusion between resetting a router and rebooting a router. When a reboot is done it is simply cycling the power by turning the power off and back on again. Resetting a router does a lot more. In a true reset the router is returned completely to factory defaults.
Warning: Resetting this router can cause problems for you if you don't know what to expect. We recommend creating a list of settings you know you have changed. Please consider the following before you continue.
- The router's interface username and password are returned to their default values.
- If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP (Internet Service Provider) username and password. If you aren't sure of those you need to call your ISP.
- The WiFi section of your router has been returned to default. This includes the SSID, password, and security method.
- All personally configured settings are erased. This could include anything. Popular settings to change are port forwards, parental controls, and IP addresses.

Reset the Ativa AWGR54
Before you start the reset you need to be sure the router is on. Don't unplug or turn off the router during this process. Doing so could cause permanent damage to your router.
Next you need to find that tiny reset button. For this router it is located on the side panel.
Use the tip of a pencil or pen to press and hold down the reset button for about 10 seconds.
Try other troubleshooting methods first because this will erase every configuration you have ever made to your router.
Login to the Ativa AWGR54
After the Ativa AWGR54 reset is complete you should login to the router using the default username and password. We have found these for you and included them in our Ativa AWGR54 Login Guide.
