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 it to factory default settings.
If you do not know the current IP address of the router, first try to use an IP scanner application to detect
the IP address before you 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. However, if you cannot find the IP address or lost the password to access
the router, you must use the
Reset
button.
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. For a list of factory default settings, see
Factory Settings
on page 245.
