On this page you will learn how to reset the Dlink WBR-1310v2 router back to factory defaults. This is nothing like a reboot. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the device. When you reset a router you take all the settings and return them to how they were when they left the factory.

Warning: Resetting a router is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We recommend making a list of the settings you think you may have changed in the past. Consider the following:

  • The main username and password used to access the router settings is erased and returned to factory settings.
  • The Internet name and password is also erased and returned to factory defaults.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP (Internet Service Provider) username and password. Call your ISP for the details.
  • Have you ever changed any other settings on this device. How about port forwards or IP addresses? These all need to be reconfigured after the reset is done.

Do you know where the reset button/pinhole is located on the outside of the device? This button is on the back of the router. Take a look at the image below for a more exact location.

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

Please remember that this erases every single setting you have ever changed on this device. We recommend exhausting your other troubleshooting methods first.

Login to the Dlink WBR-1310

Following that you'll need to log into your Dlink WBR-1310v2 router. This is done by using the factory default username and password listed for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: If the defaults aren't logging you in it could be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Once you've logged into your router we recommend setting a new password for it. Remember that this password will only protect your router settings, not your wireless network. All the same, setting a strong password is always a good idea. For help in doing so check out our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

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

Setup WiFi on the Dlink WBR-1310v2

You can now begin the reconfiguration process. This needs to include the WiFi settings. We suggest following our guide to secure your local network. You can find this guide on our How to Setup WiFi on the Dlink WBR-1310v2 page.
