This guide will cover how to reset the BEC-Technologies BEC-7402GTM-MI router back to factory settings. The words reset and reboot are confused a lot. To reboot a device you cycle it's power by turning it off and back on again. To reset a device you take all the settings and return them to how they were from the factory.

Warning: Be careful when you reset a router, settings will be changed. Problems arise when you are unaware of what these changes are. Please consider the following before continuing:

  • The WiFi settings are all returned to how they were from the factory. This includes the SSID, security method, and password.
  • The router's interface username and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • If you use DSL to connect to the Internet you must re-enter the ISP username and password before you can use the Internet again. Call your ISP for this information.
  • All settings you have adjusted in the past will be erased. This could be anything but some common ones are port forwards, IP address changes, and firewall settings.

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.

While the router is turned on you need to use a sharp pencil or pen to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds.

This WILL erase everything you have done to your router to personalize it. We strongly recommend trying other troubleshooting methods first.

Once you have finished the reset you need to login using the appropriate default username and password that came from the factory.
