This page describes how to reset the Billion BiPAC-7800N router back to factory defaults.

First, you need to know the difference between resetting a router and rebooting a router. To reboot a router is to cycle the power to the device. This is normally done by unplugging the power cord from the device or wall, waiting 30 seconds, then plugging the power cord back in. This is done to solve some minor problems. The other term is to reset a router. When a reset takes place all previous settings that you have ever changed are erased and returned to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router is a big step and needs to be thought through before going farther. Make sure you know what settings need to be reconfigured after the reset is complete. We have started a list of settings that are reverted to factory defaults for you:

  • The router's main username and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • If you use DSL you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider's username and password. This information can be obtained by calling your ISP.
  • Your Internet name and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • Have you made any other changes to your router? Items such as port forwards or IP addresses are all erased and 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.

Take the tip of pen or sharp pencil and press down on the button for at least 10 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for long enough you may reboot the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Remember this erases every setting you have ever changed on this router. We recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before going ahead with a reset.
