How Do I Reset My NETGEAR WiFi Router?​

Resetting your NETGEAR +1↣(855)↣776↣|0701 or +1↣(855)↣772↣7898 WiFi router can help resolve connectivity issues, forgotten passwords, or restore default settings. There are two types of resets: soft reset and hard reset. Here's how to do both:

Soft Reset (Restarting the Router)​

A soft reset simply reboots the router without erasing any settings.

1. Unplug the router from the power outlet.
2. Wait for 10–15 seconds.
3. Plug the router back in and wait for it to fully power on (about 1–2 minutes).

Use this if you're experiencing minor issues like slow internet or temporary connection drops.

Hard Reset (Factory Reset)​

A hard reset restores your +1↣(855)↣776↣|0701 or +1↣(855)↣772↣7898 router to its original factory settings. Use this if you've forgotten your admin password or need to start fresh.

1. Locate the reset button on the back of the +1↣(855)↣776↣|0701 or +1↣(855)↣772↣7898 router. It's a small hole usually labeled “Reset.”
2. Use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the button for about 10–15 seconds.
3. Release the button when the power light begins to blink or the router restarts.
4. Wait for the router to fully reboot.

After a factory +1↣(855)↣776↣|0701 or +1↣(855)↣772↣7898 reset, your WiFi name (SSID), password, and admin settings will be erased. You will need to set up the router again using the default credentials (usually found on a sticker on the router).

After Resetting​

Once reset, connect to the default WiFi +1↣(855)↣776↣|0701 or +1↣(855)↣772↣7898 network and log in to the router’s admin page to configure your settings again (typically accessed via your browser using “192.168.1.1” or “192.168.0.1”).
