Using the Reset Button

First off, locate the reset button on your router. It’s a tiny button usually tucked away, so you might need a paperclip or a handy tool to press it.
Turn on your router and patiently wait for it to boot up completely.
Now, press and hold that reset button for around 10 seconds. If it’s hard to reach, a trusty paperclip or a similar tool will do the trick.
After the 10 seconds are up, release the reset button.
Hang tight and wait for your router to do its thing. This reboot process might take a few minutes.

Using the Web Interface

Grab a device and open up your web browser.
Type in your router’s special number (IP address) in the address bar. It’s usually either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Look in your router’s manual or on a label stuck to the router to find this magic number.
Now, log into your router’s web home using your username and password. Typically, both are set as “admin,” but it might be different for yours. Check your router’s manual to be sure.
Once you’re in, look around for a section called “System” or “Tools” in the router’s web world.
Find the option that talks about going back to the beginning, like “Restore to Factory Defaults” or something close. Give it a friendly click.
Confirm that you’re all in for resetting the router to how it was when it first came out of the box.
Now, take a little breather and let the router do its thing. It’ll give itself a fresh start, and you’ll be good to go!
