This guide will show you how to reset the Billion 400G router back to original factory defaults. First, there are two terms that are easily confused, reboot and reset. To reboot something means to cycle it's power by turning it off and back on again. This solves some minor problems you might be having. To reset is to take all the settings and return them back to factory settings.

Warning: This router reset is a serious step and should only be done after careful consideration of the following:

  • The router's username and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • The WiFi name, password, and security method are all returned to default.
  • If you have a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. Call your Internet Service Provider for more details.
  • If you have ever changed any other settings on this router you need to reconfigure them afterwards. This might include IP addresses or maybe port forwards.

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.

Before you reset the Billion 400G router you need to know where the reset button is. For the Billion router this tiny recessed button is located on the back side of the device. We have circled it's location for you in the following image.

Take a sharp pencil or pen to press and hold the reset button down for about 10 seconds. If you hold it down less than that you may only reboot the router instead or resetting it.

Don't forget, this reset is going to erase every setting you have ever changed on this router. It's a good idea to try other troubleshooting methods before going forward with this reset.

Login to the Billion 400G

After you have finished resetting the Billion 400G router you need to login using the appropriate username and password. These can usually be found in the user manual. We have already found these for you and included them in our Login Guide for the Billion 400G.

Change Your Password

After a successful login you should be prompted to change your password. This should be done for security reasons. If you don't like coming up with new passwords, you can find ideas and tips in our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: Write this password down on a sticky-note and stick it to the bottom of the router so you don't lose it.

Setup WiFi on the Billion 400G

The final settings that need your attention are the WiFi settings. We recommend using WPA2 as your new security method along with a strong Internet password. If you need instructions on this, take a look at our How to Setup WiFi on the Billion 400G router.
