On this page I will show you how to reset the Billion BiPAC-5112S router back to the original factory defaults.

Before we begin there are two terms that are oftentimes confused. The first term is reboot. To reboot your router means to cycle the power or turn it off, wait a minute, then turn it back on. This will solve some minor problems you are having with your device. The other term is reset. To reset a router is to take every single setting and return them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting a router is a serious step. Don't do this unless you have exhausted other troubleshooting methods. Things you need to consider are as follows:

  • The router's interface username and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • The Internet password and network name are reverted to factory defaults as well.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and passwor in order to continue using the Internet. For more details you'll need to call your Internet Service Provider.
  • Have you changed anything else on this router? Port forwards? IP addresses? These are all erased and need to be reconfigured.

Take the tip of a pencil or pen to press and hold the reset button for a minimum of 5 seconds. If you only press and immediately release the button it may only reboot the Billion BiPAC-5112S instead of resetting it.

Please remember that all your settings you have personalized are erased. We recommend that a reset only be done after you have tried other options of fixing the problem.

Login to the Billion Bipac 5112S

Once the reset process is complete you need to login using the proper default IP address, username, and password. These defaults are found in the user manual. We have found them for your convenience and included them in our Login Guide for the Billion BiPAC-5112S.

Change Your Password

You now should change the default password to something you create. Default passwords are notoriously easy to guess. We recommend changing this immediately. If you need help we have a guide full of ideas and tips. Check it out here: Choosing a Strong Password

Tip: To avoid a future reset, write this password down on a sticky note and attach it to the bottom of the router. (We only recommend this if your router is in a secure location.)
