On this page I will be explaining how to reset the Billion BiPAC 7800DXL router back to factory defaults.

Before I begin let's go over a couple of terms that are easily confused. The first is a reboot. When you reboot you cycle the power to the device. This is done to solve minor problems you may be having with your device. When you reset you take all the settings and return them all to factory defaults.

Warning: This means every setting you have ever changed is erased and reverted back to factory defaults. It's important that you consider the consequences to this before continuing. Please consider the following:

  • The router's main username and password are erased and replaced with the original defaults.
  • The Internet name and password are also erased and replaced with the original factory defaults.
  • If you use a DSL connection you need to re-enter the ISP (Internet Service Provider) username and password. Call your local ISP for this information.
  • Have you ever made any other changes to your router? Have you forwarded any ports? Have you made any parental controls? These are all erased.

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.

As you can see from the image below the reset button is on the back panel. I have circled it in red for you.

This is the reset page from your Billion BiPAC 7800DXL router.

While the router is powered on press and hold the reset button for more than 5 seconds with an unwound paperclip. If you don't hold this button down for the entire 5 seconds you end up only rebooting the unit instead of resetting it.

Remember this reset erases every single setting you have ever made to the router. To avoid that you need to exhaust your other troubleshooting options.

Login to the Billion BiPAC 7800DXL

When the reset process is complete you need to login to the router's setup section using the defaults from the factory. If you don't have these readily available you can check out our Login Guide.

Tip: Don't panic if the defaults didn't work. You may not have held the reset button down for long enough.

Change Your Password

The next thing you should do is to change the password. It's never a good idea to leave a password as it's default. Default passwords are meant to be easy to guess (making them terrible passwords). Follow our Choosing a Strong Password guide if you need a refresher on creating strong passwords.

Tip: There are many different ways to keep from losing a password. One of them is to write the new password on a piece of paper and stick it to the bottom of the router.

Setup WiFi on the Billion BiPAC 7800DXL

Next I want to remind you to check on the wireless settings. These settings are reset along with anything else you have changed. We recommend changing the SSID, the Internet password, and checking on the security type. For a full guide on that topic check out our How to Setup WiFi on the Billion BiPAC 7800DXL.
