1 – Locate the Reset Button

Look for the factory reset button on the back of your modem or router—it’s likely red. This button is usually the smallest and may require a pen to press it all the way.

2 – Use the Reset Button

To initiate the factory reset, press and hold the button for at least 15 seconds. The reset will begin when the modem lights begin to flash.

3 – Wait

Wait for at least 3-5 minutes for the factory reset to finish.

The Internet light will shine green when the process is complete.
