On this page we will be discussing how to reset the Cabac LWADSLR4P router back to factory defaults. It's important for you to know that this is not the same thing as a factory reboot. A reboot is a cycle of power to the device. Nothing is altered in a reboot. A reset is a major alteration. A reset takes all the settings and returns every one of them back to factory defaults.

Warning: This reset is a big step in troubleshooting. Make suer you know what settings will be changed by this reset. We recommend making a list of settings that you know will be changed. We have started this list for you:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The Internet name and password.
  • The ISP username and password if you own a DSL router. You need to call your ISP for more information.
  • If you have changed any other settings on this router they will be erased. This includes any ports you have forwarded or passwords you have changed.

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 reset is to locate the actual reset button. For this particular router it is located on the back panel. See the image below for reference.

This is the reset page from your Cabac LWADSLR4P router.

Take an unwound paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This initiates the reset process. If you don't hold this button down for long enough you will end up rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Be sure you know that resetting a router will erases everything you have ever done to your router. To avoid the hassle of re-configuring the router you should try other options before trying a reset.

Change Your Password

Once you finish logging into the Cabac LWADSLR4P router you should change the password you just used. Default passwords are by design easy to guess. For a refresher on passwords read our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: It's very important that you don't lose this password. If you keep this router in a secure place (like your house) it's okay to write the new password on a sticky-note then attach it to the bottom of the router.

Setup WiFi on the Cabac LWADSLR4P

It's a good idea to check on the wireless options now. The network name or SSID is reset and needs to be reconfigured. We recommend setting the security method to WPA2 along with a nice strong password. For more on this check out our guide titled How to Setup WiFi on the Cabac LWADSLR4P.
