On this page I will show you how to reset the Creative Network-Blaster-CW2202 router back to it's original factory defaults. It's important that you know this is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is a way of cycling the power to the device. A reset is taking all the settings and returning every one of them back to factory settings.

Warning: Resetting this router is a big step in troubleshooting. Don't continue until you know which of your settings will be erased. Consider the following:

  • The router's main username and password are reverted to factory defaults.
  • The Internet name and password are erased and put back to factory default settings.
  • If you own 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 this router you need to reconfigure them after the reset is complete.
