In this guide we will discuss how to reset the Aztech DSL605EU router to factory settings. There is a lot of confusion between the terms reset and reboot. When rebooting a router you are simply turning it off and back on again. When you reset the router you are reverting all settings back to how they were from the factory.

Warning: All of your saved settings will be lost. Resetting this router could cause problems if you don't know what changes. Make a list of setting you know will change. We have started the list for you, please consider the following:

  • The router's main username and password are reverted to factory settings.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. If you don't know this information, call your ISP.
  • All settings are erased. This could include port forwards, IP address changes, or maybe parental controls.

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.

While your router is still on you should locate the tiny reset button. This is typically found on the back panel of your router. Look in the image below, we have circled it's location.

This is going to erase everything you have ever done to your router. We recommend exhausting other troubleshooting methods before doing this.

Login to the Aztech DSL605EU

Now you must login to the Aztech DSL605EU router using the appropriate IP address and username/password from the factory. We have included these in the Aztech DSL605EU Login Guide.

Change Your Password

Tip: It's alright to write this new password down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router.
