A factory reset puts your Wavlink router back to its default settings, including the default login.

Before You Reset

A reset erases your WiFi name and password, Internet login and port forwards, so write them down. A restart (power off for 30 seconds) keeps all your settings.

Method 1: The Reset Button

  1. With the router on, press and hold the Reset button (usually a pinhole on the back, so use a paperclip) for about 5 to 10 seconds.
  2. Let go and wait a few minutes while the router restarts.

On many Wavlink routers the reset button is also the WPS button. Hold it until the lights flash, then let go.

Method 2: Reset From the Web Interface

Log in, go to More > System > Reset (or Setup > Restore Factory) and confirm.

After the Reset

Log in at http://192.168.10.1 (or http://wifi.wavlink.com) with the defaults (see the Wavlink login guide), set a new admin password, and set up your WiFi and Internet connection again.
