This page shows you how to reset the Billion BiPAC-7700N-R2 router back to it's original factory defaults.

First, there is some confusion between the terms reset and reboot. To reboot a router is to cycle the power to the device. This can be done by unplugging the power from the device, waiting about 30 seconds, then plugging the power back into the router. To reset the router is to take all the settings erase them and return them to how they were from the factory.

Warning: This is a big step. You need to know what settings are changed after the reset is complete. Making a list is a good idea, we started one for you:

  • The router interface username and password are returned to factory default.
  • The Internet name, password, and encryption is returned to how they were from the factory.
  • If you use DSL you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. To find out what these are you need to call your Internet Service Provider.
  • If you have made any other changes like port forwards, or IP addresses these need to be reconfigured.
