On this page I will show you how to reset your Axesstel MV600 router back to factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot your router you cycle the power to the device in order to solve some minor bugs the router is experiencing. When you reset a router it is usually because you have forgotten how to login to your router interface. A reset erases all previously configured settings returning them to how they were straight from the factory.

Warning: Resetting this router can cause a lot of problems for you if you are unaware of what changes are made during this reset. Please consider the following:

  • The router's main username and password are reverted back to factory settings.
  • The Internet name and password are also reverted to factory defaults.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password to be able to use the Internet again. You need to call your local Internet Service Provider for more information.
  • If you have made any other changes to this router you need to write them down so you can reconfigure them after the reset is complete.

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

NordVPN is the fastest VPN!

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

Now that you have considered the consequences to a reset you need to know where the reset button is located. Unfortunately I was unable to find an image of the reset button for you. For this particular router the reset button is located on the underside of the router. So go ahead and flip your router over so you are looking at the bottom of it.

Hopefully the reset button is labeled. Sometimes it is hidden. This reset button will be very small and indented to prevent accidental resets. A typical reset button looks like this:

router reset factory settings
This is the reset page from your Axesstel MV600 router.

Take a pin or unwound paperclip to press and hold down the reset button for about 10 seconds which initiates the reset process. If you don't hold this button down for long enough the router will likely only reboot instead of reset like you wanted. Understandably this causes a lot of confusion.

Please remember that this reset erases every setting you have ever changed on your router requiring you to reconfigure after the reset is complete. If you want to try and avoid this re-configuration you need to try other troubleshooting options first.

Login to the Axesstel MV600

Now that you have successfully reset the Axesstel MV600 router you need to login to the router setup pages using the correct default IP address, username, and password.

This information is in our Login Guide for the Axesstel MV600 if you're interested.

Change Your Password

Next it's a good idea to change the password you just used. This password is used to restrict access to your router interface, where all your network settings can be changed. Use our Choosing a Strong Password guide to help create this password if you need to.

Tip: To avoid losing this password why not write it down on a sticky note then attach that to the bottom of the router for next time.

Setup WiFi on the Axesstel MV600

Next is the wireless setting. These include the SSID, the Internet password, and the security type of your choice. We recommend WPA2 for the strongest form of security. Check out our How to Setup WiFi on the Axesstel MV600 for more information on this topic.
