Nighthawk AX8 8-Stream AX6000 WiFi Router Return the Router to Its Factory Default Settings Under some circumstances (for example, if you lost track of the changes that you made to the router settings or you move the router to a different network), you might want to erase the configuration and reset the router to factory default settings. If you do not know the current IP address of the router, first try to use an IP scanner application to detect the IP address before you reset the router to factory default settings. To reset the router to factory default settings, you can use either the Reset button on the back of the router or the Erase function. However, if you cannot find the IP address or lost the password to access the router, you must use the Reset button. After you reset the router to factory default settings, the user name is admin, the password is password, the LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1 (which is the same as www.routerlogin.net), and the DHCP server is enabled.. Use the Reset Button CAUTION: This process erases all settings that you configured in the router. To reset the router to factory default settings: 1. On the back of the router, locate the Reset button. 2. Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button for at least five seconds. 3. Release the Reset button. The Power LED starts blinking. When the reset is complete, the router restarts. This process takes about two minutes. WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the reset. For example, if you are connected to the router web interface, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn off the router. Wait until the router finishes restarting. Erase the Settings CAUTION: This process erases all settings that you configured in the router. Manage Your Router 115 User Manual
