To factory reset a Linksys router, you can follow these
steps:
Find
the Reset Button: Locate the reset button on your Linksys
router. It's usually a small button located on the back or bottom of the
router. It might be labeled "Reset" or "Restore Factory
Settings."
Prepare
the Router: Make sure your router is powered on. If it's
not already plugged in, connect it to a power source and turn it on.
Press
and Hold the Reset Button:
ยท
With the router powered on, use a small,
pointed object like a paperclip or a pen tip to press and hold the reset button.
ยท
Hold the reset button down for about 10-15
seconds. You might need to use some force, but be careful not to damage the
router.
Release
the Reset Button: Let go of the reset button after the
allotted amount of time. This should cause the router to reboot.
Wait
for the Router to Reboot: Allow the router a few moments to
reboot. This procedure could take one or two minutes. During this time, the
router is resetting itself to its factory default settings.
Access
the Router Configuration Page: Once the router has
finished rebooting, you can access its configuration page through a web
browser. You may need to connect your device (computer, smartphone, etc.) to the
router via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
Login
with Default Credentials: If you wish to configure the router,
you'll need to log in using the default username and password. These are
usually provided in the router's manual or can be found online. "Admin"
is a common default for both the username and password.
Reconfigure
the Router: After logging in, you can reconfigure the
router settings as per your requirements. This may include setting up a new
Wi-Fi network name (SSID), password, and other settings.
Secure
Your Router: Once you've configured your router, make
sure to set a strong administrator password and enable security features like
WPA2 encryption to protect your network from unauthorized access.
By following these steps, you can successfully factory
reset your Linksys router and start fresh with default settings. Please do not hesitate to call
