This guide shows you how to reset the Hitron-Technologies BWG-35302 router back to factory defaults.

Before we begin we need to understand the difference between a reset and a reboot. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the device. When you reset a router you take all the settings and return them all to how they were when they left the factory.

Warning: More settings may change than you are aware of. We strongly recommend making a list of all the settings you may of changed in the past. Settings that should be in that list are:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The WiFi information such as SSID and password to the Internet.
  • If you have a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP (Internet Service Provider) username and password. Call your ISP for the details.
  • Have you made any other changes to this device? If so write them down as well.

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 faster than ever deal!

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.

Unfortunately we don't have the manual for the Hitron-Technologies BWG-35302 router. Below is an image of a similar router and it's reset button. See if you can find yours in a similar place.

This is the reset page from your Hitron-Technologies BWG-35302 router.

While the router is powered on, take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This begins the reset process. The Hitron routers typically have a reset button that doubles as a reboot button. If you hold this button down for less time you may end up rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wished.

Keep in mind that a reset like the one I am describing here erases every single setting you have ever changed on your device. We strongly recommend that you exhaust your other options first.

Login to the Hitron-Technologies BWG-35302

Once you've successfully reset your Hitron-Technologies BWG-35302 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 working for you? Try holding the reset button for longer.

Change Your Password

Following that you'll need to set a new password for your router. This can be anything 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 take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

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