Have you been trying to login to the Inteno X5668B router and been unable to do so? It might be time to consider a reset.

There is some confusion on the meaning of reset. When I use the term reset I do not mean a reboot. A reboot is simply a cycle in the power to the device. No settings are changed during a reboot. A reset takes all the settings you have changed, erases them, and reverts them back to factory defaults.

Warning: A reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed in the lifetime of this device. We strongly recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you decide to reset. It's also a good idea to create a list of all the possible settings you may of changed in the past before attempting a reset. This will include the:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The WiFi SSID and Internet password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password. Call your local ISP for these details.
  • Finally you need to write down any other settings you may of changed like port forwards or IP address changes.

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.

Login to the Inteno X5668B

After you've reset the Inteno X5668B router you'll want to log into it. Do this 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 may 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. This can be whatever you like, however keep in mind that a strong password contains 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: Avoid losing your new password by writing it on a note and attaching it to the bottom of your router.
