Reset router to default factory settings (T-Mobile wireless router by D-Link)
Restoring the wireless router to the default settings will erase any changes you have made to the router. This includes any changes to the network name (SSID), the security settings, and the password for the administrative Web site.
You may need to restore the default settings if your router asks you for a password when you log in, you do not recall the password, or the default administrative password (admin) does not work.
After you restore the default settings, you will need to update all wireless devices with the new network information if you had enabled security or if you had modified the network name. To do this for the Wi-Fi enabled phone, go to Settings, select Wi-Fi, then select Available Networks, and then save your new network information.
To reset your router to factory settings, perform the following steps:
| 1. | Make sure that the router has power and that the status lights are on. |
| 2. | Locate the Reset button on the back of the router. |
| 3. | Insert a paper clip or a similar object to press and hold the Reset button. |
| 4. | Hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds until the status lights flash off. |
| 5. | Release the Reset button. |
NOTE: When the status lights are all back on, the router is fully reset. This may take a few minutes. The default network name should be @Home with four alphanumeric characters, such as @HomeA3B98.
