On this page I will be showing you how to reset the GetNet GR-534W router. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router all you are doing is cycling the power to the unit. When you reset a router you are erasing all settings that you have ever changed and returning them all to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router is a big step in fixing a problem you are having. Don't take a reset lightly. We recommend making up a list of all the settings you may of changed in the past such as:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The wireless information such as network name and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password. You need to call your local Internet Service Provider for the information.
  • Write down any other changes you have made to the GetNet GR-534W such as port forwards or IP addresses.

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.

You can find the reset button on the back panel of the unit. I have circled the tiny reset button/pinhole in red.

This is the reset page from your GetNet GR-534W router.

With the router powered on, take a small sharp object such as a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 5 seconds. This initiates the reset process for the GetNet GR-534W router.

Remember a reset erases every setting you have ever changed on your device. We strongly recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you resort to resetting the GetNet GR-534W.

Login to the GetNet GR-534W

Following that you'll need to log into your GetNet GR-534W router. This is done by using the factory default username and password. Don't know where to find these? We have them listed for your use in our Login Guide.

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

Change Your Password

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

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