Here on this page I will be showing you how to reset the Dlink WBR-2310 router back to the original factory defaults. It needs to be noted that this is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router you take all the settings and return them to how they were when they left the factory. This means every single setting you have ever changed is erased.

Warning: Resetting this Dlink WBR-2310 is a big step and shouldn't be taken lightly. We recommend making a list of any settings you may have changed in the past. Consider the following as you make your list:

  • The router's main username and password are erased and returned to factory defaults.
  • The Internet name and password are also erased and returned to factory defaults.
  • If this is a DSL router you will need to re-enter the ISP username and password. To know what these are you have to call your local Internet Service Provider.
  • If you have ever changed any other settings such as port forwards or IP addresses they need to be reconfigured.

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.

I have found the reset button/pinhole for you and circled it in red. Take a look at the image below.

This is the reset page from your Dlink WBR-2310 router.

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 this button down for the entire amount of time you may end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it.

Remember a reset like the one you are planning on doing is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed on this device. To try and avoid this loss we recommend exhausting your other troubleshooting methods first.

Login to the Dlink WBR-2310

Once you've reset the Dlink WBR-2310 router you'll need to log into it. This is done by using the factory default username and password. Don't know where to find these? We have them listed for you 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

After resetting and logging into your router we suggest setting a new password for it. This can be anything you want it to be, however bear in mind that a strong password is 14-20 characters in length and contains no personal information. For more help be sure to visit our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Prevent yourself from losing your new password by writing it on a note and taping it to the bottom of your router.
