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?

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. 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 faster than ever 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.

Do you know where the reset button/pinhole is? Take a look at the image below for a more exact location.

This is the reset page from your Dlink WBR-1310 router.

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.

Login to the Dlink WBR-1310

After you've reset the Dlink WBR-1310 router you'll need to log into it. This is accomplished by using the factory default username and password. Not sure where to find these? We have them provided for you in our Login Guide.

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.
