On this page I will be showing you how to properly reset the Inteno EG101R1 router. This 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 to factory defaults.

Warning: This reset is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We strongly recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before deciding to reset. It's a good idea to create a list of settings you may of changed in the past. Some common settings are:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The WiFi network name/SSID and password.
  • 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.
  • Have you made any other changes to your router? If so, make sure to write these down as well.

This is the reset page from your Inteno EG101R1 router.

First of all make sure the Inteno EG101R1 router is on. Take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This begins the reset process. If you don't hold the reset button down for long enough you may 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 result in permanent damage to the router.

Remember a reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed in the history of this router. Please consider other options first.

Login to the Inteno EG101R1

Following that you'll want to log into your router. 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 successfully reset and logged into your router, we suggest setting a new password for your router. This can be whatever you want, 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 take a look through our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Tip: Keep yourself from losing your new password by writing it on a sticky note and attaching it to the bottom of your router.
