This page covers the basics of resetting the Billion BiPAC-7202GR2A router back to original factory defaults.

Reboot means to cycle the power to the device. This doesn't change any of the settings you configured in the past.

Reset means to take all the settings on the router and return them to factory defaults. This changes every setting you configured in the past.

Warning: A reset is a serious step in troubleshooting a problem. Before you reset your router make sure you know all the settings that are going to be changed. Making a list of settings is a good idea. Include the following in this list:

  • The router's interface username and password.
  • The Wireless information including the SSID, password, and security method.
  • If you use DSL you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. If you have DSL and skip this step you will lose Internet connectivity. Call your Internet Service Provider for more details.
  • What other changes have you made to your router? Port forwards? IP addresses? These are all erased and need to be reconfigured after the reset is complete.

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.
