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.

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.

Before you can reset the router you need to know where the reset button is located. This tiny recessed button can be found on the underside of this router. We have circled it's location for you in the image below.

Now take a unfolded paperclip or tip of a sharp pencil and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold the reset button down for the entire time it may only reboot the router instead of resetting it.

Remember this will erase every setting you have ever changed on this router. It's a good idea to try other methods of troubleshooting before you decide to reset this router.

Now, you must login to your router's graphical interface using the appropriate default username and password. We have this information in our router database and have included it in our Login Guide for the Billion BiPAC-7700N-R2.

Change Your Password

The next step is to change the default password. These passwords are extremely easy to guess by design meaning they are a very weak password. Change the password to something more strong using our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

Tip: If you keep your router in your place of residence it's completely find to write this password down on a piece of paper and stick it to the bottom of the router for future reference.

Setup WiFi on the Billion BiPAC-7700N-R2

It's a good idea to check on your WiFi settings after a router reset. The SSID and Internet password have been reset and the encryption may be disabled.
