With this page I will be showing you how to reset the Dlink WBR-1310 router back to the original factory defaults. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When I use the word reboot I am only referring to a cycle in the power to the device. While this does help some problems you may have with your router it does not help if you have forgotten your access username and password. When I use the word reset I am referring to a complete factory restore of all settings. This means every single setting you have ever changed is erased and reverted back to its original factory defaults.

Warning: This reset is going to erase every single setting you have made on this router. Be careful when you reset. Things you need to consider are:

  • The router's main username and password are erased.
  • The Internet name and password are erased.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP (Internet Service Provider) username and password.
  • Have you ever made any other changes to your device? How about port forwards? How about IP address changes?

Take a straightened paperclip and while the router on press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. This starts the reset process. If you don't hold this button down for the entire amount of time you end up only rebooting the device instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Don't forget that this erases every single setting you have ever changed. Try and avoid this loss by trying other troubleshooting methods first.

Tip: Defaults not working for you? It could be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Once you've reset and logged into your router we suggest setting a new password for your router. This can be whatever you want it to be, however keep in mind that a strong password contains no personal information and is 14-20 characters in length. For more help visit our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Keep yourself from losing your new password by writing it on a slip of paper and taping it to the underside of your router.
