On this page we show you the basics of resetting the Bountiful-WiFi BWRG1000 router. Please note that this is not the same thing as rebooting the router. Rebooting a router is a way of cycling the power to the device. This may solve some minor problems you are having with the device. A reset on the other hand takes every setting and returns them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting the router is a serious step in troubleshooting your problem. Before you decide on resetting the router make a list of settings that are going to be affected by this reset. We have started the list for you:

  • The router's IP address, username, and password.
  • The Internet password and name.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. For more information on this you will need to call your Internet Service Provider.
  • If you have made any other changes to this router you need to reconfigure them after the reset. This includes everything from port forwards to IP address changes.

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.

The first step in any reset is to know where the reset button is located. For the Bountiful-WiFi BWRG1000 router it is on the back panel. We have circled it's location in the image below.

This is the reset page from your Bountiful WiFi BWRG1000 router.

Due to the small size of the reset button you need to take the tip of a pencil or pen to press and hold down the reset button for about 10 seconds. Less time than that and you may only reboot the router instead of the desired reset.

Please remember this will erase every setting you have ever changed on your router. We highly recommend that you try other methods of fixing the problem before resorting to a reset.

Login to the Bountiful WiFi BWRG1000

After the reset is complete you need to login to the device using the default factory IP address, username, and password. We already have found this information for you and have included it the Login Guide for the Bountiful-WiFi BWRG1000 router.

Change Your Password

The next step is to change the default password. To do this we have a Choosing a Strong Password guide you can use to create a strong and memorable password.

Tip: If this router is in your home it's okay to write this password down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router for future reference.
