This page covers how to reset the Billion BiPAC-7401VGP router back to factory settings.

Before we begin we need to cover two terms that are commonly confused. These two terms are reset and reboot. To reboot means to cycle the power to the device. This is done by pushing a button or unplugging the device, waiting a minute, then plugging it back in. To reset means to take all the settings on your router interface and return them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router can be problematic if you don't know what settings will be changed by this reset. We suggest making a list of settings you know will be changed. We have started this list for you:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The Internet name and password.
  • The ISP username and password if you use DSL. Call your Internet Service Provider for this information.
  • Have yoou made any other configurations to your router? This could include port forwards, IP address changes, etc.

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 faster than ever deal!

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 you really want to reset the Billion BiPAC-7401VGP router you need to locate the tiny reset button on the back panel of the device. We have circled it's location for you in the image below.

This is the reset page from your Billion Bipac 7401VGP router.

Due to the recessed nature of this button you need to take the end of an unwound paperclip or the tip of a pencil to press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds. Make sure you hold this button down for the entire amount of time. If you only press and release this button you may only reboot the router instead of resetting it.

Please be aware that this is going to erase every setting you have ever made on this router. We strongly recommend that you exhaust other troubleshooting methods before you continue.

Login to the Billion Bipac 7401VGP

After you have finished resetting the Billion BiPAC-7401VGP router you need to login using the appropriate default information. The IP address, username, and password can be found in our Login Guide for the Billion BiPAC-7401VGP router.

Change Your Password

After the login process go ahead and change the default password. This password is very easy to guess by necessity. Use our Choosing a Strong Password guide for ideas and tips on creating a strong password and why it's important.

Tip: Write this new password down on a piece of paper and if you keep your router in a fairly secure location stick it to the bottom of the router for future use.
