This page covers the basics of how to reset the Billion BiPAC-7401VGPR3 router back to factory default settings. Before we do that we need to go over a couple of easily confused terms. The first is a router reboot. A reboot is a way of saying "cycle the power to the device" or "turning it off, wait a bit, and turn it back on again. This does solve some minor problems you may be having with your router. This guide however covers how to reset the router. A router reset takes every setting and returns them to factory defaults. The router retains nothing that you have put into it, except possibly firmware updates.

Warning: Resetting the Billion BiPAC-7401VGPR3 router is a serious step in fixing a problem. We strongly suggest making a list of settings you know about that will change after this setting. We have started that list for you:

  • The router interface username and password.
  • The Internet name and password.
  • 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.
  • Any other changes made to this router such as port forwards or IP address changes.

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.

This is the reset page from your Billion Bipac 7401VGPR3 router.

Take the tip of a pencil or pen and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for the entire time you may end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Don't forget, this WILL erase every single setting you have ever changed on your device. We highly recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you consider a reset.

Change Your Password

The next step is to change the default password to something you create. We suggest following the ideas and tips in our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: After making up a new password you should write it down somewhere you won't lose it. If you keep your router in your place of residence it's okay to write this new password down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router.
