On this page you are shown how to reset the AZiO AER114A router back to factory settings. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the device to solve some minor problems you may be having with the router. When you reset a router you take all the settings and return all of them back to factory settings.

Warning: Resetting a router can cause problems for you if you are unaware of what settings are changed. Please consider the following when resetting your router:

  • The router's username and password are returned to factory settings as well.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. These can be gathered by calling your local Internet Service Provider.
  • Finally if you have made any other changes to your router you need to write these down to 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 faster than ever deal!

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.

Once you have decided to reset the AZiO AER114A router you need to know where the reset button is located. I was unable to find the exact location for this device. If you have this router and want to leave me a comment on where it is I will update this page.

Typically the reset button is located on the back panel or the underside of the device. This button is going to be very small and recessed to avoid accidental resets. A typical reset button looks like this:

router reset factory settings
This is the reset page from your AZiO AER114A router.

Take the tip of an unwound paperclip or pin and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for the entire amount of time it may simply reboot instead of reset.

Please understand that this will erase every setting you have ever made to your router. If you want to avoid re-configuring the router you need to try other ways of fixing the problem before you resort to a reset.

Login to the AZiO AER114A

Once the reset is complete you need to login to the AZiO AER114A router using the default IP address, username, and password. This information is found in our Login Guide for the AZiO AER114A router.

Change Your Password

It's a very good idea to change the default password as soon as you login for the first time. We recommend following the guidelines in our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: So you don't lose this password again you could write it down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router for future reference.
