Have you been trying to login to the Intelbras WRS240E router without success? It might be time to consider a reset. A reset like this one is not the same thing as 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 every one of them back to how they were when they left the factory.

Warning: Resetting this router is a big step and should be taken as such. We strongly recommend you exhaust your other options first. We also recommend creating a list of the possible settings you have changed during the lifetime of this router. Some of the more common settings that people change are:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The WiFi username and password.
  • port forwards or IP addresses.
  • If this is a DSL router the ISP or Internet Service Provider's username and password are erased. You need to re-enter these to be able to connect to the Internet again.

Use a VPN

Have you considered using a VPN when you connect to the internet? A VPN is a great way to increase your security and anonymity while surfing.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes securely sharing your home network super simple. 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 birthday 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.

This is the reset page from your Intelbras WRS240E router.

Step One: Turn off the Intelbras WRS240E router.

Step Two: Take a ball point pen or straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button.

Step Three: Turn the router back on while still holding the reset button down.

Step Four: Continue holding the reset button down for another 7 seconds until the SYS light on the front panel turns on.

Step Five: Finally you can release the reset button. This begins the reset process which can take a couple minutes to complete.

Warning: Do not unplug or turn off the router once the reset process has begun. Doing so can result in permanent damage to the device.

Remember a reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed in the history of the device. We strongly suggest trying other methods of troubleshooting before you continue.

Login to the Intelbras WRS240E

Now that you've successfully reset your Intelbras WRS240E router you'll want to log into it. Do this by using the factory default username and password. If you're not sure where you can find these, don't panic. We have them listed for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: Defaults not working for you? It might be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Once 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 includes no personal information and is 14-20 characters in length. For more help be sure to check out our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Keep yourself from losing your new password by writing it on a slip of paper and taping it to the underside of your router.
