Resetting Your Router (If You’re Locked Out)

Can’t get in? Forgot your password? Happens to the best of us.

Here’s how to do a factory reset:

  1. Find the reset button on the router (usually a tiny hole).

  3. The router will reboot and reset everything back to default.

Now you can log in again using the original username and password.
