Return the router to its factory default

settings

Under some circumstances (for example, if you lost track of the changes that you made

to the router settings or you move the router to a different network), you might want to

erase the configuration and reset the router to factory default settings.

To reset the router to factory default settings, you can use either the Reset button on

the back of the router or the Erase function.

After you reset the router to factory default settings, the user name is admin, the

password is password, the LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1 (which is the same as

www.routerlogin.net), and the DHCP server is enabled.

Tip: If the router is in access point mode or bridge mode and you do not know the IP

address that is assigned to it, first try to use an IP scanner application to detect the IP

address. (IP scanner applications are available online free of charge.) If you can detect

the IP address, you don’t need to reset the router to factory default settings.

Use the Reset button

CAUTION: This process erases all settings that you configured in the router.

To reset the router to factory default settings:

On the back of the router, locate the Reset button.

Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button for at least five

seconds.

3. Release the Reset button.

The Power LED starts blinking. When the reset is complete, the router restarts. This

process takes about two minutes.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the reset.

For example, if you are connected to the router web interface, do not close the

browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn off the router. Wait until the

router finishes restarting.

Erase the settings

CAUTION: This process erases all settings that you configured in the router.
