With this page I will show you how to reset the ECI B-FOCuS-312-TR router back to factory defaults. A lot of people think a reset is the same thing as a reboot. In this guide they don't mean the same thing. When I use the word reboot I am referring to a cycle in the power to the unit. When I use the word reset I am referring to a complete factory restore of all settings.

Warning: Resetting this router is a big step and should not be taken lightly. Consider making a list of all possible settings you have changed in the past. Settings that are probably in that list are:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The Internet name and password.
  • If this happens to be a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider username and password. To find out what these are you need to call your local ISP.
  • Have you ever made any other changes to your router? How about 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.

Take a look at the image below. The reset button for this ECI B-FOCuS-312-TR router is found on the back panel. I have circled it for your convenience.

This is the reset page from your ECI B-Focus 312 TR router.

While the router is on, take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for at least 10 seconds. This begins the reset process which will take at least 30 seconds to complete. If you don't hold this button down for the entire 10 seconds you will end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Please don't forget that this erases every single setting you have ever changed on your device. We suggest trying other troubleshooting methods first.

Login to the ECI B-Focus 312 TR

After successfully resetting your ECI B-FOCuS-312-TR router you'll need to log into it. This is accomplished by using the factory default username and password listed for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: Defaults not logging you in? Try holding the reset button down for longer.

Change Your Password

Now that you've reset and logged into your router we recommend setting a new password for it. This can be whatever you want it to be, however bear in mind that a strong password is 14-20 characters in length and includes no personal information. For more help check out our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Avoid losing your new password by writing it on a slip of paper and taping it to the underside of your router.
