Have you been trying to login to the Inteno X5669A router without success? It might be time to consider a reset.

There is some confusion about what a reset is. When I use the word reset I do not mean a reboot. A reboot is a cycle in the power to the unit. Nothing is changed in a reboot. When a reset is done, every setting you have ever changed is erased and reverted back to factory defaults. Every setting you have ever changed is wiped out.

Warning: A reset is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We strongly recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you continue. It is a good idea to write down all the settings you may of changed in the past as well. Some of these settings are:

  • The WiFi username and password.
  • The router interface username and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password. Call you ISP for these details.
  • Are there any other changes you have made to the Inteno X5669A router? How about port forwards or IP address changes.

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.

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 Inteno X5669A router.

While the router is on take a straightened paperclip or other similar object and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. This begins the reset process. If you don't hold this button down for the entire 10 seconds 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 device.

Don't forget a reset like this one is going to erase every single setting you have ever changed on the device. We strongly recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you continue.

Login to the Inteno X5669A

It is time to login to the Inteno X5669A router. When doing this after a reset you need to use the default values. These are found in our Inteno X5669A Login Guide.

Tip: If the reset didn't work you may not of held the reset button down long enough.

Change Your Password

The next step is changing the default password you just used to access your interface. These default passwords are very insecure. Change it to something more secure and more unique. Use the tips in our Choosing a Strong Password guide to help you.

Tip: One way to avoid losing this password again is to write it down on a slip of paper and attach it to the bottom of the router.
