Have you been trying to login to the Dlink DSL-2750B Verizon router without success? It might be time to consider a reset. A reset is different than a reboot. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the device. No settings are changed during a reboot. When you reset a router you take all the settings you have changed in the past and erase them reverting them all to how they were from the factory.

Warning: Resetting the router is a big step and should not be taken lightly. I strongly recommend making a list of all the possible settings that you have changed in the past. These settings could include:

  • the router's main username and password. These are used to access the router's interface pages.
  • the WiFi settings such as the SSID, encryption and password. These secure your wireless network.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password. Call your local provider for the details.
  • What other settings have you changed in the past? How about port forwarding or IP address changes? Make sure to write these down as well.

This is the reset page from your Dlink DSL-2750B Verizon router.

While the router is on take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This begins the reset process which can take several minutes to complete. If you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you might end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted so be careful.

Warning: Do not unplug or turn off the router during the reset process. Doing so could cause permanent damage to the device.

Remember a reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed in the lifetime of this device. Please consider other troubleshooting methods before you decide to reset.

Now that the router reset is complete you will need to login using the default IP address, password, and username. This information can be found in our Login Guide for the Dlink DSL-2750B Verizon router, be sure to check it out.

Tip: Defaults not working? You might have not held down the reset button for long enough during the router reset. Try resetting it again, but this time hold down the button for a little longer.

Change Your Password

The next step after logging into your router is to change the password from the default. Try to make your password 14-20 characters long, unique, and contain no personal information. For additional help on this important step, see our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: To avoid losing your password, try writing it down on some paper and attaching it to the base of the router.
