# How to factory reset DWR-X2000 5G Router

Note: Performing a **hard reset** will restore the router to its factory default settings. This will\
erase any custom configurations, including Wi-Fi settings, passwords, and network\
configurations.

Hard Reset Procedure:<br>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Locate the Reset button under the router. It is typically a small, pinhole-sized button

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Use an unfolded paperclip, SIM card ejector, or any similar small object to press and hold\
the **Reset** button for about **10-15 seconds**. You will see the **Power LED** starts blinking or\
you see the lights on the router flash

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Release the reset button after holding it for the required time. The router will begin to\
restart. This process may take a few minutes. Once the reboot is complete, the router will\
return to its factory default settings.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**Factory reset via Web GUI/App**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Connect your computer, smartphone, or tablet to the router either via Wi-Fi or by using an\
Ethernet cable.\
**Note:** The default Wi-Fi password is printed on the back of the router

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Open your preferred web browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.). In the address bar, type\
<https://192.168.0.1> and press Enter. This will open the router's login page.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
To access the router's settings, enter the username and password. If you’ve previously\
changed the password, use the updated one. Otherwise, use the default username\
\&#xNAN;**"admin"** and the default password located on the label at the back of the router.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Once logged in, go to the **Settings** tab, then select **Reset All Settings** In the sub-menu,\
click **Restore**, enter your router’s password and then confirm to initiate the reset process.
