In this guide we will show you how to reset the BEC-Technologies BEC-7800TN router back to factory defaults. The terms reset and reboot are often times confused with each other. To reboot the router you need to cycle it' power by turning it off and back on again. To reset a router means you take all the settings and return them to factory defaults.

Warning: Be careful because a factory reset could cause problems if you don't know what settings have been changed. We suggest making a list, consider the following:

  • The router's main username and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • The WiFi setting such as SSID, password, and security mode are all returned to default settings.
  • If you use DSL for your Internet connection you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. To obtain this information you'll need to call your ISP.
  • Any other settings you have changed such as port forwards or IP address changes 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.

Once you decide you need to reset the BEC-Technologies BEC-7800TN router you need to locate the tiny reset button. Typically this can be found on the back panel of the device. We have found it's location for you and circled it in the image below.

While the router is switched on take a sharp object such as a pin to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. Do not unplug or turn off the router during this process as it could damage the device.

Don't forget that this WILL erase every setting you have made changes to. We recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before continuing.

Login to the BEC Technologies BEC 7800TN

Change Your Password

After logging into the device you should change the password to something different. It's never a good idea to leave a password at it's default state. We recommend using the Choosing a Strong Password guide for help if you need it.

Tip: If your router is in a secure location it's okay to write it down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router for future reference.

The final thing we will examine in this guide is the WiFi settings. Don't forget these have been reset as well. You need to change your SSID, security method, and the password.
