Have you been trying to login to the Innoband 8520-B1 router without success? It might be time to consider a reset. A reset is not like a reboot. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the unit. When you reset a router you take all the settings and return them all to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting the Innoband 8520-B1 router is a big step and should not be taken lightly. Please consider your other options before you decide to reset. We also recommend making a list of all the settings you may of changed in the past.

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The Internet information such as SSID and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider username and password. Call your ISP for the details.
  • Can you think of any other changes you have made? Make sure to 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.

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.

I have circled the reset button for you in the image below.

This is the reset page from your Innoband 8520-B1 router.

While the router is on, press down on the reset button for at least 7 seconds. This starts the reset process. If you don't hold the reset button down for a full 7 seconds you will simply turn on the WPS function. Learn what this is in our What is WPS guide.

Warning: Do not unplug the router during the reset process it will cause permanent damage to the router.

Remember a reset like this one is erasing every single setting you have ever changed in the lifetime of the Innoband 8520-B1 router. We recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you decide to reset.

Login to the Innoband 8520-B1

After you've successfully reset the Innoband 8520-B1 router you'll need 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 we recommend setting 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 wise decision. For help in doing so be sure to take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

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