On this page I will be showing you how to reset the Digisol DG-BG4100NU router back to factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the device. When you reset a router you end take all the settings and return every one of them back to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router can be a problem if you don't understand what a reset will do. We suggest creating a list of these setting that will change. Consider the following:

  • The router's main username and password are reverted back to original factory settings.
  • The Internet name and password are also reverted to factory defaults.
  • If you use a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider's username and password to continue using the Internet. Call your local ISP for more details.
  • Have you made any other changes to this router? They need to be written down so you can reconfigure them later.

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 faster than ever deal!

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 by locating the reset button on the device itself. We have circled it for you in the image below.

Tip: If the defaults aren't working for you it could be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

After logging in we strongly suggest changing the default password. This can be anything you want, however we know that coming up with a strong password can be difficult. If you'd like some help be sure to take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Try writing your new password on a sticky note and putting it on the underside of your router. This makes it easy to find in case you forget it.
