On this page we show you how to reset the Digitus DN-11004-O router back to it's original factory default settings. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router you only cycle the power to the device. This solves some minor problems you might be experiencing. When you reset a router you take all the settings and return every one of them back to the original factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router can cause more problems for you if you don't know what settings are changed. We recommend making a list of the settings you changed. Consider the following:

  • The main username and password are reverted to factory defaults.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. Call your Internet Service Provider for more information.
  • Have you ever made any other changes to this router? If so write these down so you can set them back up after the reset is complete.

Use a VPN

Have you considered using a VPN when you connect to the internet? A VPN is a great way to increase your security and anonymity while surfing.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes securely sharing your home network super simple. 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 birthday 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.

Once you have read the above warnings you need to locate the reset button on the router itself. For this Digitus router you can find it on the back panel of the device. Take a look at the image below:

This is the reset page from your Digitus DN-11004-O router.

Due to it's small size you need to take the tip of a sharp pencil or pen and press down on this button for more than 3 seconds. This restores all settings back to factory defaults.

Remember this erases all settings you have ever changed on the device. A reconfiguration is necessary afterwards. To avoid that you need to exhaust your other troubleshooting options first.

Login to the Digitus DN-11004-O

Now log into your Digitus DN-11004-O router using the default username and password. Not sure what these are? We've got them for you in our Login Guide.

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

Change Your Password

After logging in we suggest changing the default password. This can be changed to anything you want, however bear in mind that a strong password contains no personal information and is 14-20 characters in length. For more help be sure to check out our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

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