On this page you are learning how to reset the Linetec LT150MR router. This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot a router you cycle the power to the unit. When you reset the router you take all the settings and return them all to factory defaults. This means every single setting you have ever changed in the past is erased and returned to factory defaults.

Warning: Resetting the router is a big step and should not be taken lightly. We recommend trying other methods of troubleshooting before you decide to reset the Linetec LT150MR router. It's a good idea to make a list of all the possible settings you have changed. These include the:

  • The router's main username and password.
  • The WiFi SSID and password.
  • If this is a DSL router you need to re-enter the ISP or Internet Service Provider username and password. Call your ISP for these details.
  • Have you made any other changes to the device. How about port forwards or IP address changes.

Reset the Linetec LT150MR

Below is an image of the back panel of a Linetec router. Notice where the reset button is and what it looks like. A reset button is typically more like a pinhole in the router. This is done to avoid accidentally resetting the router.

While the router is on take a small sharp object such as a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button for about 10 seconds. If you don't hold the reset button down for the full amount of time required you might end up only rebooting the router instead of resetting it like you wanted.

Warning: Do not unplug or turn off the router during the entire reset process. Doing so could cause permanent damage to the device.

Don't forget a reset like this one erases every single setting you have ever changed in the past. We strongly recommend exhausted your other troubleshooting methods before you decide to reset.

Login to the Linetec LT150MR

After you have finished resetting into the Linetec LT150MR router you need to login using the default values. These have been gathered for you and are included in the Linetec LT150MR Login Guide.

Tip: If the defaults didn't work it is possible you didn't hold the reset button down for long enough. Try again but hold the reset button down for a bit longer next time.

Change Your Password

After the login is complete you need to change your router's default password. This password protects your router settings nothing more. It is still important to change this password. Follow the tips in our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

Tip: One way to avoid losing this password is to type it on a piece of paper and tape it to the bottom of the router for future reference.
