On this page we will show you how to reset the Billion 810VGTX router. Before we begin we need to learn the difference between a router reboot and a router reset. A reboot is cycling the power to the device. This is done to solve some minor problems. You can reboot by turning the device off and then back on again. To reset a router is to take all the settings and return them to factory defaults.

Warning: A reset can be problematic if you don't know what settings are changed. We strongly recommend that you consider the following:

  • The router's username and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • The Internet username and password are reverted to factory defaults.
  • If you use DSL, you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. Call your Internet Service Provider for more information.
  • Any other settings you have changed in the past such as port forwards or IP address changes need to be reconfigured.

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 in any reset is to locate the reset button. This button is a small, recessed, button on the back panel of the device. We have circled it's location for you in the following image.

Take the tip of a pencil or pen to press and hold the reset button down for at least 10 seconds. Holding it down for less time may only result in a router reboot.
