On this page I will be showing you how to properly reset the Kasda RTL867x router back to factory defaults. This 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 them to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this device is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We recommend making a list of all the possible settings that will be reverted. This only includes settings you have changed. Normally this includes:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The network name and 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.
  • Have you made any other changes to this device? If so you need to write them down so you can reconfigure them later on.

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.

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 Kasda RTL867x router.

While the 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 might end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Warning: Do not unplug or turn off the Kasda RTL867x router during the reset process. Doing so could result in permanent damage to the unit.

Please don't forget that this reset is erasing every single setting you have ever changed in the past. We highly recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you decide to reset.

Login to the Kasda RTL867x

Now that the reset is complete you need to login to the Kasda RTL867x router interface. Do so with the default IP address, username, and password. We have this information for you in our Kasda RTL867x Login Guide.

Tip: Don't panic if the defaults didn't work. You may of only rebooted the router instead of reset it. Try holding the reset button down for a little longer.

Change Your Password

It is a good idea to change default passwords as soon as possible. This password is how you protect your router settings. If you need some help with creating a new password check out our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

Tip: One way to avoid losing this new password is to write it down on a slip of paper then tape it to the bottom of the router so you can find it next time.

Setup WiFi on the Kasda RTL867x

Don't forget about your wireless settings. These need to be reconfigured after the reset is complete as they have been erased. Check out our Kasda RTL867x WiFi Instructions for easy to follow directions on how to setup the wireless security for your Kasda RTL867x router.
