On this page I will show you how to reset the Dynamode R-ADSL-C4W-G1 router back to factory defaults. A lot of people don't know the difference between a reset and a reboot. In this guide when I mention a reboot I am talking about a cycle in the power to the unit. When I mention a reset I am referring to a complete factory restore of all settings. This means every single setting you have ever changed on the device is erased and returned to factory defaults.

Warning: This reset is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We recommend making a list of the settings you have changed in the past. The following should be included in your list.

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The Internet name and password.
  • If you have a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. Find out what this information is by calling your local Internet Service Provider.
  • Have you made any other changes to this device such as port forwards or 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 is the fastest VPN!

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 located? Unfortunately at the moment we don't have an image of the outside of this device. The image below is a router with it's reset button circled. The reset button on your router should have a similar placement.

While the router is on, take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This begins the reset process. If you don't hold thi button down for long enough you might end up only rebooting the device instead of the reset you wanted.

Please be careful when you reset the Dynamode R-ADSL-C4W-G1 router. All settings you have changed in the past WILL be erased. We highly recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you continue.
