Have you tried to login to the Hitron-Technologies CVW-30360 router and been unsuccessful? It might be time to reset the Hitron-Technologies CVW-30360 router back to the original factory defaults.

A reset like the one I will be showing you is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is a cycle in the power to the unit. No changes are made to the router interface. A reset is a complete factory restore of all settings. Every setting you have ever changed is erased and reverted back to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router is a big step and shouldn't be done without consideration of what happens. Make a list of all the settings you may of changed in the lifetime of the router such as:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The wireless information such as SSID and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP (Internet Service Provider) username and password. You must call your ISP for these details.
  • If you have made any other changes to your router write these 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 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.

This is the reset page from your Hitron Technologies CVW-30360 router.

While the router is on take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you may end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Remember a reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed on your device. We strongly recommend exhausting your other troubleshooting methods before you decide to reset the Hitron-Technologies CVW-30360 router.

Login to the Hitron Technologies CVW-30360

Now that you've successfully reset your Hitron-Technologies CVW-30360 router you'll want to log into it. This is done by using 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 working for you it could be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Following that you'll want to set a new password for your router. This is done by using the factory default username and password. Bear in mind that this password will only protect your router settings, not your wireless network. Still, setting a strong password is always a good idea. For help in doing so be sure to visit our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

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