If you have been trying to login to the iBall iB-WRX054G router and been unsuccessful it might be time to consider a reset. A reset 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: This reset is a big step. All your personal settings will be erased. We recommend making a list of all the settings you may of changed in the lifetime of this router. Some of these might be:

  • The router's main password and username.
  • The wireless SSID and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP username and password in order to continue using the Internet. Call your ISP for the details.
  • Have you made any other changes to this device? If so go ahead and 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 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 a iBall router back panel. The reset button has been circled for you. For the iBall iB-WRX054G router it should be in a very similar place.

This is the reset page from your iBall iB-WRX054G router.

While the router is on, take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This begins the reset process which could take several minutes to complete. If you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you could end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Warning: Do not unplug the router during the reset process. It could permanently damage the router.

Remember this reset is erasing every single setting you have ever changed in the lifetime of this device. We strongly recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you continue.

Change Your Password

Now that you've reset and logged into your router we suggest setting a new password for it. This can be whatever you want it to be, however keep in mind that a strong password is 14-20 characters in length and includes no personal information.

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