On this page I will show you how to reset the Creative Broadband Blaster 8022 router back to it's original factory default settings. This isn't the same thing as a reboot. A reboot cycles the power to the device. A reset takes all the settings you have ever changed and returns them to factory defaults.
Warning: Resetting this router can cause problems if you don't know what settings have been changed. Please consider the following list:
- The router's main username and password are put back to default.
- If this is a DSL router you may need to re-enter the ISP username and password. Call your local ISP for more details.
- Any other changes you have made to your router need to be written down so you can remember to reconfigure them after the reset is complete.
