In this guide we discuss how to reset the Bandluxe R529 router. There is some confusion between resetting a router and rebooting a router. Rebooting a router is cycling the power by turning it off and back on again. Resetting a router is taking all the settings and returning them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this Bandluxe R529 router can cause problems if you don't know what to expect. We suggest making a list of all the settings you know will change. This will include:

  • The router's interface username and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • The WiFi password, SSID, and security encryption are all returned to factory settings.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. If you are unsure of this information check with your ISP.
  • All settings such as port forwards are erased.

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.

The first step is to locate the tiny reset button. This button is typically recessed on the back panel. Take a look at the image below.

This is the reset page from your Bandluxe R529 router.

While the Bandluxe R529 router is on, use a sharpened pencil or pen to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. Do not unplug or turn off the router during the reset process as that could cause permanent damage to the device.

Remember this erases all settings you have ever done to your router. Make sure to try other troubleshooting methods first.

Login to the Bandluxe R529

After you have finished resetting the router you need to login to it using the default username and password. We have found these for yo9u and included them in our Bandluxe R529 Login Guide.

Change Your Password

Now you need to change that password to something new. It's never a good idea to leave a password as it's default. If you have trouble coming up with new passwords check out our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

Tip: Once you create a new password go ahead and write it down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router for future reference.

Setup WiFi on the Bandluxe R529

The last setting we will discuss is the WiFi setting. Don't forget that these have been reset as well as everything else. For the most secure network encryption we recommend using WPA2-PSK. For instructions on this check out the How to Setup WiFi on the Bandluxe R529 guide.
