This page covers the basics of resetting the Billion BiPAC-7404VGO router.

First, let's define two terms that may be somewhat confusing. The first is a router reboot. To reboot a router means to cycle the power to the device. This is done by unplugging the power from the device, waiting about 30 seconds, then plugging the power back in. This is done to solve some minor functionality problems you might have with your device. The other term we need to go over is a router reset. This is taking all the settings and reverting them back to how they were from the factory. The main reason this would be done is if you have forgotten the router's interface password.

Warning: A router reset is a serious step and needs to be taken as such. Make sure you know what settings are changed during this reset. We have started a list of items that are changed with a router reset.

  • The router interface username and password.
  • If you use DSL, you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider username and password. To find out what these are you need to call your ISP.
  • The Internet name, password, and security method.
  • Have you made any other changes to your router? Have you ever forwarded any ports? Have you made changes to your DNS settings?

Take a sharpened pencil or pen and press down on the reset button for at least 10 seconds. If you don't hold the button down for long enough you will only reboot the router instead of resetting it.

Remember this will erase every single setting you have ever changed on your router. It's a good idea to exhaust your other options before deciding to reset a router.

It's a good idea to take a look at the WiFi settings too. The SSID has been reset and you need a new network name. The security mode is back to default.
