On this page we cover how to reset the Billion BiPAC-7401VGP-R3 router. But before we begin let's go over two terms that are easily confused. The first is reboot. To reboot is to cycle the power to the device by either pushing a button or unplugging the power to the device, waiting a bit, then reconnecting the power. The other term is what this page is about, a router reset. A reset takes all your settings and returns every one of them back to factory defaults. You would want to do this if you can't login to the router's user interface.

Warning: Resetting this router is a serious step. Make sure you know all the consequences of doing this before you continue. Things you may want to consider are:

  • The router's user interface username and password are returned to factory settings.
  • The Internet name, security method, and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password in order to continue using the Internet. Call your Internet Service Provider for more information on this.
  • Have you made any other changes to this router in the past? Have you forwarded any ports for a program or game? Have you changed your router' IP address? All of this and more are erased. Make sure to reconfigure these after the router has been reset.

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.

Due to the fact that this button is recessed you need to use the tip of a pencil or pen to press and hold the reset button down for at least 10 seconds. If you don't hold the button down for that long you may only reboot the router instead of resetting it.
