If you are unable to login to the Genexis DRG737v2 router you may need to reset the Genexis DRG737v2 router back to factory defaults.

A reset like this is not a reboot. 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 the Genexis DRG737v2 router is a big step and should not be taken lightly. Create a list of all the settings you may need to reconfigure after the reset is complete. Some of these settings are:

  • The router interface username and password.
  • The wireless information such as the name and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider username and password. You must call your ISP for these details.
  • Any other changes such as port forwards or IP addresses will also need to be written down.

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.

The first step in a reset is to find the reset button/pinhole. For the Genexis DRG737v2 router you can find it on one of the side panels. See the image below for reference.

This is the reset page from your Genexis DRG737v2 router.

While the device is on, take a straight paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This starts the reset process which could take a minute or two to complete. If you don't hold this button down for long enough you may end up only rebooting the device instead of resetting it.

Remember a reset like this is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed in the history of this router. We strongly recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you decide to reset the Genexis DRG737v2 router.

Login to the Genexis DRG737v2

Once you've reset the Genexis DRG737v2 router you'll need to log into it. This is done by using the factory default username and password. Not sure where you can find these? We have them listed for your use in our Login Guide.

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

Change Your Password

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

Tip: Avoid losing your new password by writing it on a sticky note and attaching it to the bottom of your router.
