Kak sbrosit nastroyki routera

Как сбросить настройки роутера


Also, routers are often issued by providers who set a password to limit access to their network by third parties, and they do not provide independent user configuration of the router. Without a password, you will not be able to use the router settings. In this case, you need to perform a hard reset of the router. Any router, be it a wi-fi modem or an access point, has a small hole that is very easy to find if you examine the device in detail. In this hole there is a reset button, but you won’t be able to press this button accidentally because the hole is very small. To reset the settings, take a thin object, such as a needle or straighten a paper clip. Turn on the router, then insert this object into the hole until it stops, and press the button. Then you need to hold it pressed for about 5-10 seconds. Sometimes it may take a little more. Wait two minutes. At this time, the router should reboot on its own.

After the router has booted up completely, try go to the web interface with standard login and password. If everything ended well - my congratulations, you managed to reset the settings.

It is recommended for additional protection, for example, from children, that after the reset is completed, seal the hole that hides the Reset button with tape or a piece of electrical tape.

Otherwise, when you have access to the router interface, but you still need to reset the settings, for example, if you changed many settings, it is easier to reset the settings than to manually switch everything separately. In such a situation, it is worth using the software reset function, which is present in almost every device. You should look in the user manual for the exact name of the function. This feature is mainly found in the Tools submenu. After enabling this setting, wait for your router to restart - in some cases this may take two to three minutes. Typically, after a restart, your browser window will refresh and you will see the results of the factory reset. In some cases, a login window to the router appears, and in order to complete the settings, you need to initially enter your username and password.

It is also worth mentioning that some users try not to reset the router settings themselves. After all, such resets are not very pleasant, because after them access to the Internet is often lost, and users blame their Internet provider for everything. This whole situation is due to the fact that some routers are very sensitive to changes in power supply voltage, and when, for example, the lights are turned off, they reset the settings on their own.

Also, some budget wireless routers provided by providers, for example Huawei HG-520S, reset their settings on their own almost when there is a voltage drop. To solve this unpleasant situation, you should connect your router to an uninterruptible power supply, or to high-quality surge protectors. If after all the work done nothing has changed, you should change your equipment, as it will cause you more trouble and you will not solve your problem. This article should help solve the problem with your router. After all, resetting settings is a rather delicate process; some users cannot do it themselves. That's why this article was written. In general, I hope that the information I wrote will help many people solve their problems.
