4How to Reset Your TP-Link Router | Forgot Your Wi-Fi Password? Reset Your TP-Link Router Like a Pro!
Resetting a TP-Link router can be done in two main ways: soft reset and hard reset. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Resetting a router can resolve various network-related issues and is often a troubleshooting step in several scenarios. Here’s why and when you might need to reset a router:
Reasons to Reset a Router
Fixing Connectivity Issues:
If the router is not providing a stable internet connection.
Frequent disconnections or inability to connect devices to the network.
Internet speed is significantly slower than expected despite a proper ISP connection.
Forgotten Credentials:
You’ve forgotten the router’s admin username or password.
The Wi-Fi network name (SSID) or password has been lost, and you cannot connect new devices.
Resolving Configuration Errors:
Incorrect settings during manual configuration prevent the router from working correctly.
The router fails to communicate with your modem or ISP due to setup errors.
Clearing Malware or Unauthorized Access:
If you suspect your router has been compromised or infected with malware.
To remove unauthorized settings made by hackers, like DNS redirection.
Returning to Factory Settings:
You’re selling or giving away the router and want to wipe personal data and configurations.
Starting fresh to configure the router for a new network setup.
Router Performance Issues:
Over time, routers can develop glitches due to excessive data caching or memory overload.
Resetting clears temporary files and refreshes the router’s firmware.
Switching Internet Service Providers:
To erase old ISP-specific settings and reconfigure the router for the new provider.
Updating or Reverting Firmware:
After a firmware update, if the router experiences issues, a reset can ensure proper functioning.
Reverting to a previous state when the firmware update fails.
Reset vs. Restart
Restart: Power cycling the router (turning it off and on) resolves minor glitches and network drops without losing settings.
Reset: This erases all settings and configurations, reverting the router to its factory state. Use this only when necessary.
Consider Before Resetting
Backup Settings: Save current configurations if you need to restore them later. Most modern routers allow exporting settings as a file.
Check with Your ISP: Some settings might be specific to your ISP, so you may need their help to reconfigure after a reset.
Exhaust Other Options: Try restarting, checking cables, or updating firmware before opting for a full reset.
