This page shows you the basics of resetting the Billion BiPAC-5210S router back to it's original factory defaults.

First we need to review two terms that are easily confused, reset, and reboot. To reboot your router is to cycle the power to the device. This is done by unplugging it, waiting at least a minute, then plug the power back into the router. To reset a router is to take all the settings and return them all back to factory defaults.

Warning: A router reset is a serious step and should only be done if you know all the consequences and are prepared for them. We have made a partial list of settings that need your immediate attention after this router reset.

  • The router interface username and password are reverted to default values.
  • If you use DSL you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. This information can be obtained by calling your Internet Service Provider.
  • If you have made any other customizations to your router you need to reconfigure them after the reset process.

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.

Once you have decided to reset the Billion BiPAC-5210S router you need to know where the reset button is. We have circled it's location for you in the image below.

This is the reset page from your Billion Bipac 5210S router.

You probably noticed that this button is very small and recessed. This is to avoid accidental resets for occurring. In order to press this button you need to use the tip of a pencil or pen. Press and hold this button for about 10 seconds. If you simply press and release this button it only reboots the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Be aware that this reset is erasing all your personal settings. We highly recommend trying other options of fixing the problem before deciding on a reset.

Tip: If you keep your router in a secure location, such as your home, go ahead and write this password down on a slip of paper. Then attach it to the bottom of the router for future use.
