If you are unable to login to the iBall iB-WRA150N router you might need to think about resetting the iBall iB-WRA150N router back to the original factory defaults.

A reset like this one is not the same thing as 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 factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting the iBall iB-WRA150N router is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We strongly recommend creating a list of all the settings you may of changed in the past. For example:

  • the router's main interface username and password are erased and reverted back to how they were when they left the factory.
  • The WiFi information such as the SSID and the Internet password are also reverted back to how they were when the router left the factory.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password. You need to call your ISP for these details.
  • If you have made any other changes such as port forwards or IP address changes they are erased 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.

Below is an image of the iBall iB-WRA150N back panel. I have circled the location of the reset button. This tiny reset button will look more like a pinhole than a button.

This is the reset page from your iBall iB-WRA150N router.

While the router is on take a straightened paperclip or similar object and press down on the reset button/pinhole for over 5 seconds. If you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you might end up rebooting the router instead of resetting. Resets can sometimes take several minutes to complete.

Warning: Do not unplug the iBall iB-WRA150N router during the reset process. This could permanently damage the router.

Remember a reset like this one is erasing every setting you have ever changed. We strongly recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you continue with this reset.

Login to the iBall iB-WRA150N

Now that you've reset the iBall iB-WRA150N router you'll want 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 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. Keep in mind that this password will only protect your router settings, not your wireless network. All the same, setting a strong password is always a good idea. For help in doing so be sure to take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

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