This guide covers how to reset the Beetel 450TC3 router back to original factory defaults. There is a lot of confusion on the difference between resetting and rebooting. Rebooting a router is simply powering off the device and powering it back on. This does solve some issues with your router it will not reset it. Resetting a router is taking all the settings and returning them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting your Beetel 450TC3 router can cause significant problems for you if you are unaware of what a reset changes. We recommend creating a list of settings you know will be changed. You can start from the partial list below:

  • The router's username and password are returned to the original factory defaults.
  • The WiFi SSID, password, and security are all reverted to factory settings.
  • If you use DSL you will need to re-enter the ISP username and password. If you don't know these you must call your ISP for details.
  • Any other settings you have changed like port forwards or IP addresses 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 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.

When you know you are ready for a reset, you need to find the tiny recessed button. This tiny reset button is usually found on the back panel or on the underside of the device.

Take a sharpened pencil or pen to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. The router needs to be on during this process. Turning the device off or unplugging it could cause permanent damage to the device.

Please don't forget that this WILL erase every setting you have changed. We recommend exhausting other troubleshooting methods before you attempt a reset.

Login to the Beetel 450TC3

Now you have completed the reset you need to login to the device using the appropriate IP address, username, and password. These can be found in the user manual or sometimes even on the device itself. We have already found these for you and included them in our Login Guide for the Beetel 450TC3 router.

Change Your Password

After you have finished logging into the Beetel 450TC3 router you need to change that default password to something you create. It's never a good idea to leave a password at it's default value. For help in creating a good password check out the Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: If your router is in a secure location you can go ahead and write this new password down on a piece of paper and stick it to the bottom of the router for future reference.

Setup WiFi on the Beetel 450TC3

The last setting we will be discussing in this guide is the WiFi settings. Don't forget that these have been reset as well. It's very important that you check to make sure your network is still secure. We recommend WPA2(AES) as the encryption type. If you need further help with this please take a look at our How to Setup WiFi on the Beetel 450TC3 guide.
