On this page I will show you how to reset the Dell TrueMobile-2300 router back to it's original factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot your router you are cycling the power to the device. When you reset the router you are erasing all the settings and returning them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router can cause problems if you don't know which settings are changed as a result of this reset. Consider the following before you continue:

  • The router's main username and password are reverted to the original factory defaults.
  • The Internet name and password are reverted to factory defaults as well.
  • If this is a DSL router you will need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider's username and password. Call your local ISP for more information.
  • If you have ever made any other changes to this router you need to write these down so you can reconfigure them afterwards.

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.

Start this reset by finding the reset button. For the Dell TrueMobile-2300 router it is located on the back panel of the device. Take a look at the image below.

This is the reset page from your Dell TrueMobile 2300 router.

Now take a pin or unfolded paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This starts the reset process. This could take a minute or two to complete. If you don't hold this button down for the entire amount of time you end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted originally.

Don't forget that this will erase every last setting you have ever changed on this router. If you want to try and avoid that you should try other troubleshooting methods first.

Login to the Dell TrueMobile 2300

After resetting your Dell TrueMobile-2300 router you'll need to log into it. This is done using the default username and password. We have these listed for you in our Login Guide.

Tip: If the defaults don't seem to be working for you it may be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Now that you've logged in it's a good idea to change your default password. A strong password contains no personal information and is 14-20 characters in length. For more helpful hints check out our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Avoid losing your password by writing it on a sticky note and attaching it to the underside of your router.

Setup WiFi on the Dell TrueMobile-2300

Now it's time to look at the WiFi settings. These include the network name, the Internet password, and the security type. We strongly recommend using WPA2 with a complex password. For more on that topic check out our page labeled How to Setup WiFi on the Dell TrueMobile-2300.
