This page shows you how to reset the Billion 800VGT router back to factory defaults.

Before we begin it's important to know the difference between a reset and a reboot. A reboot is cycling the power to the device. This is done by unplugging the device. Waiting at least 30 seconds then plugging it back in. Resetting a router is reverting every single setting back to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router can be troublesome. We recommend making a list of all settings that may be changed. We have started that list for you:

  • Your router's interface username and password.
  • The ISP username and password if you use DSL. Call your Internet Service Provider for more information.
  • The Internet name and password.
  • Any other settings you have changed in the past such as

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.

The first step is to find the reset button. This button is usually found on the back panel of the device. We have circled it in the image below.

Take a pencil tip or pen and press down on the button for 10 seconds. If you only press and release this button it will reboot the device instead of resetting it.

Remember this will erase every setting you have ever changed on this router. We recommend exhausting other options before deciding to reset this router.

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