On this page we will show you how to reset the CBN Inc CG6640E router back to factory settings. This is not the same thing as rebooting a router. A reboot is a way of cycling the power to the device. A reset takes all the settings and returns them to how they were from the factory.

Warning: Resetting the CBN Inc CG6640E router can be a problem if you don't understand what settings get changed during the reset process. We recommend making a list of settings that you know will be changed. We have started the list for you:

  • The Internet name and password
  • The router's main username and password
  • The ISP username and password if you have DSL. To obtain this info you need to call your local Internet Service Provider.
  • Any other settings you changed in the past need to be reconfigured.

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. In this instance you can find this tiny recessed button on the back panel of the device. See the image below for an idea of where it is.

This is the reset page from your CBN Inc CG6640E router.

Take an unfolded paperclip and press down on the reset button for at least 10 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for the entire amount of time you may only reboot the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Please be aware that this reset erases every setting you have ever made to this router. We recommend trying other troubleshooting methods to avoid resetting if possible.

Login to the CBN Inc CG6640E

Once you have finished resetting the device you need to login using the appropriate default IP address, username, and password. We have gathered this information for you and included it in our Login Guide for the CBN Inc CG6640E router.

Change Your Password

Next is to change that password for the router. Default passwords are easy to guess and therefore need to be changed. We recommend using our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password to help you create a new password.

Tip: This password is important and needs to be saved. If you keep your router in a secure location you should write this new password down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router for future reference.

Setup WiFi on the CBN Inc CG6640E

Finally it's a good idea to check on the CBN Inc CG6640E wireless settings. These include the wireless network name, the Internet password and the security type. We have created a step-by-step guide to help you if you need it. Take a look at it here in our How to Setup WiFi on the CBN Inc CG6640E.
