On this page I will show you how to reset the Comtrend VR-2035UN router back to factory default settings. This is not the same as a reboot. A router reboot cycles the power to the device. A router reset takes all the settings and returns them to how they were out of the box.

Warning: When you reset a router you need to be aware of what changes are made. Please take some time to consider the following:

  • The router's interface username and password are returned to factory settings.
  • The Internet name and password are reverted to factory settings as well.
  • If you have a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password in order to use the Internet again. You need to call your Internet Service Provider for more details on that.
  • Any other changes you have ever made are restored to default. Take note of all changes you have made so you can reconfigure them 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.

With any reset you do you need to know where the reset button is located. Comtrend normally keep their reset buttons on the back panel. See image below:

This is the reset page from your Comtrend VR-2035UN router.

As you can see this tiny recessed button can't be pressed with your finger. Take the tip of a sharp pencil or pen and press down on the reset button for at least 10 seconds. This begins the reset process which could take upwards of a minute. If you don't press the button for a long enough amount of time you could end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Remember this reset erases every personal setting you have changed on this router. You need to setup your router when you are finished like you did when you first got the router. To avoid this you should try other troubleshooting methods first.

Login to the Comtrend VR-2035UN

Once you have finished resetting the Comtrend VR-2035UN router you need to use the default username and password to login to the Comtrend VR-2035UN router. We have these values for you in our Login Guide.

Tip: If the default username and password don't work it is very possible you didn't hold the reset button down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Next you should change the password you just used to access your router's interface. This password protects your router settings and should be changed. For helpful tips and ideas check out our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

Tip: Don't lose this password. One way to do that is to write it down on a sticky note and attach it to the bottom of the device for next time.

Setup WiFi on the Comtrend VR-2035UN

It's also a great idea to make the necessary changes to your wireless settings. These include the network name, the Internet password, and the security type. We highly recommend using WPA2 with a strong password to protect your wireless network. For more details and step-by-step instructions check out our How to Setup WiFi on the Comtrend VR-2035UN page.
