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.

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.
