On this page we discuss the basics of resetting the Billion BiPAC-7404VPNX router back to factory settings.

First, let's differentiate between resetting and rebooting a router. To reboot a router means to cycle the power to the device. This can be done a couple different ways. One common way is to unplug the power cord from the router, wait about 30 seconds, then plug the power back in. The other term is to reset the router. This is where every setting on the device is erased and put back to how it was from the factory.

Warning: Resetting the router can be problematic if you don't anticipate the changes that will happen. We recommend creating a list of settings you know will change. We started this list for you:

  • The router's username and password.
  • The Internet name, password, and security method.
  • If you use DSL you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. To find out what these are call your Internet Service Provider.
  • Have you changed anything else on your router? Have you ever made any port forwards or IP address changes? Everything you changed is erased and needs re-configuring.

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.

The first step in resetting a router is to know where the tiny recessed button is located. On this model you can find it on the back panel of the device. We have circled it in the image below.

This is the reset page from your Billion Bipac 7404VPNX router.

Now due to the small and recessed nature of this button take a sharp pencil or pen and press down on the button for at least 6 seconds. If you don't hold the button down for a full 6 seconds you may only reboot the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Please be aware that this erases every setting you have ever changed on this device. We recommend trying other options before deciding to reset the router.

Login to the Billion Bipac 7404VPNX

Now that you have reset the Billion BiPAC-7404VPNX router you need to login to it using the appropriate default IP address, username, and password. We have already found all this information and included it in our Billion BiPAC-7404VPNX Login Guide.

Change Your Password

Next you should change that default password to something you create. If you follow the ideas and tips in my Choosing a Strong Password guide you will create a truly strong password that is memorable.

Tip: It's very important that you not lose this password. If this is a home router you have reset than it's okay to write the password down on a slip of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router.

Setup WiFi on the Billion BiPAC-7404VPNX

Finally it's important that you configure your WiFi settings. This would include the SSID, security method or encryption, and the Internet password. For a step-by-step instruction guide take a look at our How to Setup WiFi on the Billion BiPAC-7404VPNX guide.
