On this page we show you how to reset the Corega CG-WLBARGO router back to factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. To reboot means to cycle the power. Manually you unplug the power, wait about 30 seconds, then plug the power back in. To reset a router means to take all the settings and return them to factory defaults.
Warning: Resetting this router can cause problems for you if you don't know what settings are changed. We recommend making a list of any settings you have ever changed in order to reconfigure them after the reset is complete. Consider the following:
- The main router username and password will be reverted to factory settings.
- The Internet password and network name are reverted to factory defaults.
- If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. You'll need to call your local Internet Service Provider for this information.
- If you have ever made any other changes to this router they will be erased. This could be anything from IP addresses or port forwards.

Reset the Corega CG-WLBARGO
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.
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.
Begin a reset by finding the reset button. For this Corega CG-WLBARGO router it is found on the front of the device. We have circled the location in the image below.
Take the end of a sharpened pencil and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds to start 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 like you wanted.
Remember this will erase every personal setting you have ever changed on your device. To try and avoid that you need to exhaust your other troubleshooting methods first.
Login to the Corega CG-WLBARGO
Following that you'll need to login to your Corega CG-WLBARGO router. This can be done by using the default username and password. We have these for you to use in our Login Guide.
Tip: Remember that if you the default username and password don't seem to be working it may be because the reset button wasn't held down long enough.
Change Your Password
After you've logged in we highly recommend changing the default password. Try reading our Choosing a Strong Password Guide for some ideas.
Tip: To avoid losing your new password write it on a note and stick it to the bottom of your router.
Setup WiFi on the Corega CG-WLBARGO
Next you need to check on your wireless settings. The settings you need to check are in the How to Setup WiFi on the Corega CG-WLBARGO guide. We recommend using WPA2 as your security method with a strong password.
