A factory reset puts your DrayTek Vigor router back to its default settings and default login.

Before You Reset

Back up the configuration first under System Maintenance > Configuration Backup. A reset erases your Internet login, VPNs, firewall rules, WiFi and port forwards.

Method 1: The Factory Reset Button
