Restoring Factory Settings
Overview
You can restore factory settings to the FRITZ!Box.
Application Example
Resetting makes sense in the following cases:
• You forgot the login information for your FRITZ!Box and can no
longer access the FRITZ!Box user interface.
• The FRITZ!Box no longer works properly (for instance, due to im-
proper settings)
• The FRITZ!Box is to be passed on to an outside party for repair.
• The FRITZ!Box is to be resold to another user.
• The FRITZ!Box is to be disposed of.
Consequences of Resetting
• All settings you made in the FRITZ!Box are deleted.
• The internal memory of the FRITZ!Box will be deleted! In addition to
contents on FRITZ!NAS, messages received on the answering ma-
chine and faxes are discarded.
• The network key from the factory settings will be activated again.
• The name of the Wi-Fi network (SSID) will be reset.
• The IP configuration of the factory settings will be restored.
Preparations
If you would like to restart operation of the FRITZ!Box after restoring
factory settings, make the following preparations:
• Save your FRITZ!Box settings; see page 194 .
• Back up your data from the internal memory, for instance, using the
download function in FRITZ!NAS; see page 216 .
