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 the router to factory default settings.
If you do not know the current IP address of the router, first try to use the NETGEAR
Insight mobile app or an IP scanner application to detect the IP address. If you still
cannot find the current IP address of the router, 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 in the local browser interface. However, if
you cannot find the IP address or lost the password to access the router and cannot
recover it, 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 165.
Use the Reset button
CAUTION: This process erases all settings that you configured in the router.
To reset the router to factory default settings:
1.
On the back of the router, locate the Reset button.
2. Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the recessed Reset button until the
Power LED lights amber, which takes about five seconds.
3. Release the Reset button.
The Power LED starts blinking amber and the configuration is reset to factory default
settings. When the reset is complete, the router reboots. This process takes about
two minutes.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the reset.
For example, if you are connected to the router’s web page, do not close the browser,
click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn off the router. Wait until the router finishes
restarting and the Power LED turns solid green.
