Factory Reset

Q21: How to reset my router to factory default setting?

If you forget the password of your router’s configuration interface, you can do a factory reset to return the

settings to the factory defaults.

Impact of Factory Reset:

(1) Erase all current settings, and this action cannot be undone.

(2) The password for the Administrator (Admin) account will be reset to the default.

(3) Resetting the router does not reset the firmware to the previous version

Step 1:

With the unit on, use the end of a paperclip to press the reset button for seven seconds, which is

located inside a small hole on the base of the unit. The power light on the front of the router will turn

orange t

o indicate that the unit is restarting.

Step 2:

The unit will reboot automatically. Once the power light stops blinking, the unit has been reset

and is ready to use.
