This page shows you how to reset the Billion BiPAC 7800NXL router back to factory defaults. Before we begin there is a lot of confusion between resetting a router and rebooting a router. A reboot is another way of saying "cycle the power to the device" or "turn it off and back on again". A router reset is a process that returns all the settings back to their original factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting a router is a serious step and shouldn't be taken lightly. We recommend making a list of all the settings that will be changed after this reset. Consider the following:

  • If you use DSL you will need to re-enter the ISP username and password to continue to use the Internet. To learn more about this you need to call your Internet Service Provider.
  • The router's main username and password are returned to factory defaults.
  • The Internet SSID, password, and security measures have all been put back to factory defaults.
  • Any and all settings are erased. This means any port forwards or IP address changes are erased and need reconfiguration after the reset is finished.

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 a router reset is to know where the reset button is located on the outside of the device. Normally you can find the tiny recessed button on the back panel of the device. We have circled it's location in the image below.

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

Take the tip of a pencil or pen to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold down the button for long enough it may only reboot the device instead of resetting it.

Please remember that this is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed in the past. It's a good idea to try other troubleshooting options before going ahead with a reset.
