How do I reset my ADSL Router back to factory default settings?

Factory reset using the reset button

There is a factory-reset button located at the back of the ADSL Router. To do a factory reset, hold down the reset button with a paper clip and keep an eye on the status Led on the front of the unit. When the status led goes off release the reset button and after about 20 seconds the led will come back on and then you should be able to access the router using the default IP address (192.168.1.1).

 

Factory reset using the webinterface

Step 1. Open up a web browser and type in the IP address of the ADSL Router (default is 192.168.1.1). Press Enter.

Step 2. Enter the Login name and password (default is admin/admin). Click on Login.

Step 3. Click on the Tools tab at the top. Click on System Commands on the left.

Step 4. Click on the Restore button to factory reset on the unit.
