Most NETGEAR routers have a recessed button on the back or bottom panel marked "Reset" or " Restore Factory Settings". Sometimes it is not marked at all. Because the button is recessed you will require a thin tool like a straightened paperclip to press it.

Step 1 : Switch on the router and wait for it to boot up (about 1 minute).

Step 2 : Locate the "Restore Factory Settings" button of your router.

Step 3 : Use a sharp object such as a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the "Restore Factory Settings" button for about 7 seconds until the Power light begins to blink.

Step 4 : Release the "Restore Factory Settings" button and wait for the router to restart. The Power light will stop blinking and will become solid green (white for newer models).

Step 5 : The factory default settings will be restored so that you can access the router from your Web browser using the factory defaults.
