This guide will cover how to reset the Beetel 220BX1 router back to it's original factory defaults. There is a lot of confusion between the terms reset and reboot. To reboot a router means simply to cycle the power by turning it off and then back on again. To reset a router takes all the settings and returns them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router can cause problems if you are unaware of the settings that are changed during a reset process. We suggest creating a list of the items you know will be changed. Please consider the following before continuing:

  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. To obtain this info you need to call your ISP.
  • The router's main username and password are returned to factory settings.
  • Any other settings you have changed such as port forwards are erased. You will need to re-configure these after the reset.

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 decide to reset the router you need to find the reset button. It is a tiny recessed button on the back panel or on the underside of the Beetel 220BX1 router.

Use the sharpened tip of a pencil or pen to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. Make sure to do this while the router is on. Do not unplug or turn off the router during the reset as it could cause permanent damage.

Don't forget that this will erase every setting you have ever changed on this device. We highly recommend exhausting other troubleshooting methods before resetting.

Login to the Beetel 220BX1

After the reset process is complete you need to login using the appropriate username and password from the factory. These can normally be found in the user manual or even on the device itself. We have found these usernames and passwords for you and included them in our Beetel 220BX1 Login Guide.

Change Your Password

Now it's very important that you change this default password to something you create. It's never a good idea to leave a password as it's default. If you need further help in making a strong password check out our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: Write this new password down on a piece of paper and stick it to the bottom of your router for future reference.
