Have you tried to login to the Linksys BEFVP41v2 router without success? It might be time to consider a reset. When you reset a router you cycle the power to the unit. When you reset you take all the settings and revert them back to factory defaults.
Warning: Resetting this device is a big step and should not be taken lightly. Some of the settings that are changed include:
- the router's username and password.
- any port forwarding that has been done.
- any changed IP addresses.

Reset the Linksys BEFVP41
The first step in resetting a router is to find the reset button on the back panel of the device. I have found an image for you and circled the reset button in red.
While the router is on take a straightened paperclip and press down on the reset button until the front Diag LED turns on and then off again. If you don't hold the reset button down until the lights turn on and off again you may end up rebooting the router instead of resetting it.
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 that this reset erases every single setting you have ever changed in the history of this device. Please consider other options before you reset.
Login to the Linksys BEFVP41
After the reset is complete it is time to login to the Linksys BEFVP41v2 router. To do this you need to use the default IP address, username and password. We have found these for you and included them in our Linksys BEFVP41v2 Login Guide.
Tip: If the defaults didn't work it is possible you didn't hold the reset button down for long enough.
Change Your Password
Change the default router password soon. This password protects your router information. To create a strong password check out our Choosing a Strong Password guide.
Tip: Avoid losing this password by writing it down on a piece of paper and attaching it to the bottom of the device.
