This page shows you how to reset the Billion BiPAC-7800NL router back to it's original factory defaults.

There are two terms that are quite often confused, reset and reboot. To reboot a router is to unplug it, wait about 30 seconds, and turn it back on. This is done in order to cycle the power to the device. To reset a router is to take all the settings and return them all to factory defaults.

Warning: If you don't understand what a reset will do it could cause a lot of problems. We strongly recommend making a list of settings that you have changed in the past, as every one of them will need to be reconfigured. We have started the list for you:

  • The router's main username and password to enter the user interface.
  • The Internet WiFi password and network name.
  • If you use DSL you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. This information can be gained by calling your Internet Service Provider.
  • Have you made any other changes to your router? Have you forwarded any ports for a program or game? Have you changed any IP addresses?

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 any reset is to know where the reset button is located. This tiny recessed button is located on the back panel of the device. We have circled it in the image below.

This is the reset page from your Billion Bipac 7800NL router.

Take the tip of a pen or sharp pencil to press down and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold it down for long enough you end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it.

Please be aware that this erases every setting you have ever changed on your router. It's a good idea to try other methods of fixing your problem before you reset.

Login to the Billion Bipac 7800NL

The next step is to login to the Billion BiPAC-7800NL router using the proper default username and password from the factory. These are in your user manual or you can find them in our Login Guide for the Billion BiPAC-7800NL router.

Change Your Password

After the login is successful you need to change the router's default password to something you create. We have a guide full of ideas and tips for you. Take a look at it here in the Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: If you are using a home router it's okay to write this new password down on a post it note and attach it to the bottom of the router for future reference.

The final thing we are discussing in this guide are the WiFi settings. These include the SSID/network name, Internet password, and encryption technique.
