On this page we will show you how to reset the Buffalo WBMR-G54 router back to factory default settings. This is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is only cycling the power to the device where a router reset is taking every setting and returning it to factory defaults.

Warning: A router reset can be a problem if you are unaware of what settings change. We recommend making a list of the settings you know will change. We have started this list for you.

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The Internet name and password.
  • If you have a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. To obtain these you need to call your Internet Service Provider.
  • If you have made any other changes to the router you need to reconfigure them after the reset process is complete.
