On this page I will be showing you how to reset the Dlink DSL-2320B modem. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a modem you cycle the power to the unit. When you reset this modem you take all the settings and return them all to factory defaults. This means every single setting you have ever changed in the lifetime of this modem is erased.

Warning: Problems arise when you don't know what settings are changed and what ones are not. Things to consider are:

  • The modems main username and password are erased and put back to factory defaults.
  • Have you made any other changes to this device? If so write them down so you can reconfigure them.

Take a bent paperclip and press down on this reset button/pinhole for about 10 seconds to reset the device. If you don't press this button down for long enough you end up only rebooting the modem instead of resetting it.

Remember all settings you have ever changed are erased. If you want to avoid that you need to try other troubleshooting methods first.

Login to the Dlink DSL-2320B

Once you've reset the Dlink DSL-2320B modem you should log into it. Do this by using the factory default username and password provided 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 for long enough.

Change Your Password

After you've logged into your modem we highly recommend setting a new password for it. Remember that this password protects your modem interface settings. For help in doing so be sure to visit our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Afraid of losing your new password? Try writing it on a note and taping it to the underside of your modem.
