This guide covers how to reset the Comtrend CT-5367 router back to it's original factory default settings. This is not the same thing as a reboot. A router reboot will simply restart your system without making any changes. A reset takes every setting you have ever changed and returns it to how it was from the factory.

Warning: This reset is erasing every personal configuration you have ever made to your device. Make sure you understand this before continuing. We have made a partial list of the settings that will be changed.

  1. The router's main username and password are reverted to factory defaults.
  2. The Internet name and password are also reverted to original factory specifications.
  3. If you are using a DSL router you need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider username and password to use the Internet again. Call your ISP for this information.
  4. If you have made any other changes such as your IP address, or port forwards these are erased. You need to re-enter these after the reset is complete.

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 is to find the reset button. This button is small and recessed to avoid accidentally resetting your router. For this router it should be located on the back panel. We have circled it for you in the image below.

This is the reset page from your Comtrend CT-5367 router.

Take the end of an unwound paperclip or pin and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This starts the reset process. If you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it.

Remember this reset erases every personal change you have made to the router. We strongly recommend trying other troubleshooting methods first before you continue with the reset.

Login to the Comtrend CT-5367

Now is the time to reset the Comtrend CT-5367 router. Use the default values when doing this. This information can be found in the Comtrend CT-5367 Login Guide.

Tip: If the default values didn't work you may have not held the reset button down long enough. Try holding it down for a few additional seconds.

Change Your Password

Now you really should change your default password. This password protects your router's settings. If you need help with this check out our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password. It is full of helpful ideas.

Tip: It's very important that this password not be lost. One way to avoid this is to write it down on a piece of paper and attach it to the bottom of the device for future reference.
