A factory reset puts your Siemens router back to its default settings and default password.

Before You Reset

A reset erases your Internet login (the DSL username and password from your ISP) and WiFi settings. Write them down first.

From the Web Interface

On Gigaset routers, go to Advanced Settings > Administration > Factory Settings (or System Management). On SL2 models, go to Management > Settings > Restore Default.

After the Reset

Log in with the defaults (see the Siemens login guide), re-enter your Internet login, set a password and set up your WiFi.
