Personally, I like to reconfigure my home network every now and then to make sure no one who may or may not have gained access to my system without my knowledge does not enjoy free internet for as long as they live near me. There will be times that you will need to restore your router to factory settings…say, if you have forgotten your admin password, for instance. Hey, it happens to the best of us. Luckily, you do not have to buy a new router. Just perform a 30/30/30 reset. Pay attention…this is super complicated!

1. Locate the reset button on your router
2. Locate the power cord on your router
3. Press in the reset button (sometimes you have to use an ink pen for some routers) and hold it for 30 seconds
4. Without releasing the reset button, disconnect the power cord
5. Continue to hold the reset button in for 30 seconds
6. Without releasing the reset button, plug the power back in
7. Continue to hold the reset button in for 30 seconds
8. Release the reset button
9. Wait 30 Seconds
10. Power cycle your router

That’s it. You are now back to factory settings on your router. Enjoy!
