On this page I will show you how to reset the Clear IMW-C910W router back to factory defaults. This isn't the same thing as a reboot. A reboot cycles the power to the device fixing some minor problems you could be having with your device. A reset takes all the settings and returns them all to factory defaults.
Warning: This reset could cause more problems for you if you don't know what settings have been changed. We suggest creating a list of settings you know will be changed. We have started this list:
- The router's main username and password are reverted to factory settings.
- The Internet name and password are also reverted to factory settings.
- If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. This information can be found by calling your local Internet Service Provider.
- If you have ever made any other changes to your router these are erased. Make a note of the changes so you can reconfigure them later.

Reset the Clear IMW-C910W
It is now time to reset your Clear IMW-C910W router. Take a look at the back panel of the device. There will be a tiny recessed button. We have circled it's location for you in the image below.
Take the end of an unwound paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This begins the reset process. If you don't hold this button down for long enough you end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.
Don't forget that this erases every setting you have ever changed on this device. If you want to avoid this you need to try other troubleshooting methods first.
Login to the Clear IMW-C910W
The next step is logging back into the router's interface. This information is in our Login Guide for the Clear IMW-C910W router.
Change Your Password
It's a good idea to change that default password now. These defaults are easy to guess making them very weak passwords. If you need help coming up with a new password check out our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.
Tip: One way to avoid losing this password is to write it down on a sticky note and attach it to the bottom of the router for the next time you need it.
Setup WiFi on the Clear IMW-C910W
Finally, you need to check on your wireless settings. The security method, SSID, and Internet password have been reset and may need to be changed to keep your network safe. We recommend using WPA2 with a strong password. We have a full set of instructions for you in our guide titled How to Setup WiFi on the Clear IMW-C910W.
