A factory reset puts your Tenda router back to its default settings.
Before You Reset
A reset erases your WiFi name and password, Internet settings (PPPoE username and password) and port forwards. Write them down first.
Method 1: The Reset Button
- With the router on, press and hold the RST (or RST/WPS) button for about 8 to 10 seconds, until the lights flash.
- Let go and wait about a minute.
On many Tenda routers the reset button is also the WPS button. A short press starts WPS instead of resetting, so hold it for the full time.
Method 2: Reset From the Web Interface
Log in, go to System Settings > Reset (on older models, Advanced > Tools > Restore to Factory Default), and confirm.
After the Reset
Connect to the default WiFi on the label and go to http://tendawifi.com. The setup wizard opens: set your Internet connection, WiFi and a login password. See the Tenda login guide.
