Have you tried to login to the Inteno DG201-R1B router without success? It might be time to consider a reset. A reset like the one I will be explaining here is not the same thing as a reboot. A reboot is where you cycle the power to the unit. A reset is going to wipe out any setting you have ever changed in the history of this router.

Warning: This reset is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you decide on a reset. Make a list of any settings you can think of that you have changed. Some common settings that are changed are:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The WiFi username and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider username and password. Call your local ISP for these details.
  • Have you made any other changes to this device? How about port forwards or IP address changes?

Reset the Inteno DG201-R1B

Take a look at the image below. I have circled the reset button in red for your convenience.

This is the reset page from your Inteno DG201-R1B router.

While the router is powered on take a pin or straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold this button down for the entire 10 seconds you might end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Warning: Do not unplug or turn off the router during the reset process. Doing so could cause permanent damage to the device.

Please try other troubleshooting methods before you decide on a reset. Resetting this router erases every single setting you have ever changed.

Login to the Inteno DG201-R1B

Once you've successfully reset the Inteno DG201-R1B router you'll want to log into it. This is accomplished 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 logging you in it might be because the reset button wasn't held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Now that you've reset and logged into your router we recommend setting a new password for your router. Keep in mind that this will only protect your router settings, not your wireless network. Still, setting a strong password is always a good idea. For more help be sure to visit our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Afraid of losing your new password? Try writing it on a sticky note and attaching it to the bottom of your router.

Setup WiFi on Inteno DG201-R1B

Finally you'll want to reconfigure the router back to your prefered settings. We recommend starting with the WiFi settings. Check out our Inteno DG201-R1B WiFi Instructions for easy-to-follow steps.
