Have you been trying to login to your LevelOne WBR-3408 router without success? It might be time to consider a reset. Resetting the LevelOne WBR-3408 router is not the same as rebooting the device. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the unit. When you reset the router you take all the settings and restore all of them back to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting this router means every personal setting you have ever made is erased and returned to factory defaults. We highly recommend making a list of all the settings you may of changed in the past. These may include:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The WiFi network name, encryption, and Internet password.
  • If this is a DSL router you might need to re-enter the Internet Service Provider (ISP) username and password. Call your local Internet provider for this information.
  • Have you made any other changes to this device? How about port forwards or IP addresses?

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.

Below is the front panel of the LevelOne WBR-3408 router. Notice I have circled two buttons on the device. You will need to use both of these to reset the LevelOne WBR-3408 router.

This is the reset page from your Level One WBR 3408 router.

While the router is on, press down on the WPS button and the Wireless On/Off button together for at least 10 seconds. If you don't hold both these buttons down for a full 10 seconds you will only reboot the router instead of resetting it like you wanted. If you don't hold these buttons down together you will either turn on or off the wireless or you will turn the WPS function on. What is WPS?

Caution: Do not unplug or turn off the router during the actual reset process! Doing so could result in permanent damage to the router.

Remember a reset like this one erases every single setting you have ever changed on the device. We strongly recommend trying other troubleshooting methods before you continue with a reset.

Login to the Level One WBR 3408

Now that you've successfully reset your LevelOne WBR-3408 router you'll need to log into it. This is done by using the factory default username and password. We have these provided for your use in our Login Guide.

Tip: Are the defaults not logging you in? The reset button may not have been held down for long enough.

Change Your Password

Once you've reset and logged into your router we recommend setting a new password for it. This can be whatever you like, however keep in mind that a strong password is 14-20 characters in length and includes no personal information. For more help be sure to check out our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

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