On this page I will show you how to reset the Dlink DI-LB604 router back to factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is a cycle in the power to the device. A reset is a complete factory restore of all settings.

Warning: This means every single setting you have ever changed is reverted back to factory defaults. We recommend making a list of all the settings you have ever changed on this device. Consider the following:

  • The router's username and password are reverted back to factory defaults.
  • If you have made any other changes to your router you need to re-enter these after the reset process 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.

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.

The first step to resetting the Dlink DI-LB604 router is to locate the reset button. You can find it on the back panel. Take a look at the image below for reference.

This is the reset page from your Dlink DI-LB604 router.

Take the end of a paperclip or pin and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for the entire amount of time you end up rebooting the router instead of resetting it.

Remember this reset erases all settings you have ever changed on this device. If you want to avoid this we recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting.

Login to the Dlink DI-LB604

After resetting the Dlink DI-LB604 router you should 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 aren't working for you it could be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Following that we recommend setting a new password. This can be whatever you want it to be, however keep in mind that a strong password is 14-20 characters in length and includes no personal information. For more help be sure to visit our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: To keep yourself from losing your new password try writing it on a note and attaching it to the underside of your router.
