A factory reset puts your NetComm router back to its default settings.

Before You Reset

A reset erases your Internet settings (PPPoE username and password, VLAN, APN), WiFi settings and port forwards. Write them down, or get them from your ISP, before you start.

Method 1: The Reset Button

Method 2: Reset From the Web Interface

Log in and go to Management > Settings > Restore Default (on some models, System > Factory Reset). Click Restore Default Settings.

After the Reset

Log in with the defaults (see the NetComm login guide), run the setup wizard to get back online, and set up your WiFi.
