Return the Modem Router to Its Factory Default Settings

Under some circumstances (for example, if you lost track of the changes that you made to
the modem router settings or you move the modem router to a different network), you might
want to erase the configuration and reset it to factory default settings.
If you do not know the current IP address of the modem router, first try to use an IP scanner
application to detect the IP address before you reset the modem router to factory default
settings.
To reset the modem router to factory default settings, you can use either the Reset button on
the back of the modem router or the Erase function. However, if you cannot find the IP
address or lost the password to access the modem router, you must use the Reset button.
After you reset the modem router to factory default settings, the user name is admin, the
password is password, the LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1 (which is the same as
www.routerlogin.net and www.routerlogin.com), and the DHCP server is enabled. For a list of
