To return the router to the defaults, reset the router to its factory default settings. This removes the changed password and username, then restores the default credentials as they&#39;re described above. Reset and restart are two separate concepts.

Hold the Reset button for five to 10 seconds or until the power light blinks. When the power light stops blinking and becomes a solid color, the reset is complete. This may take at least 30 seconds.

When the router is reset, go to http://192.168.1.1 and enter admin for the username and password for the password. To ensure security, change the default password. Passwords should be complex and hard to guess.

If you had a wireless network configured, for example, enter the SSID and password you want to use. The same is true for other custom settings, such as DNS servers. To avoid entering this information again if you reset the router in the future, back up the router settings to a file.
