Do you want to reset your Belkin router to installation settings but don't know how? If yes, then the description is dedicated to you. You may want to reset your router due to some reasons like you are not able to passage the router web interface, router is not performing as per your expectations, or you want to modify or remove all the old configuration among other things. Reasons are multiple but the explication is one. The below mentioned guide will help you reset your Belkin router to installation defaults on your own. This essentially means that you won't run into base Belkin router problems while doing so and ultimately contacting Belkin router maintain to fix them.
Instructions:
Disconnect all the Lan cables linked to the router. Leave the router powered on. Now take a thin pin or similar object and insert it into the Reset button hole (located at the back of router). Press the Reset button, hold it for 7-10 seconds, and then release. The lights on the router will flicker once, thus restoring it to the installation settings.
Now that your router has been restored to the installation settings, you would need to passage the router's configuration page. Join together an Ethernet cable from computer to the router. Join together to the internet and open your internet browser (viz. Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox etc.). Type '192.168.2.1' (without quotes and as is) in the address bar of the browser and click on the Go button (if you see one) or hit Enter on the keyboard.
This will open up the router's login page. Enter your default username and password that came with the router docs. The username is admin and the password is blank. Leave the password field blank as the default password is all the time blank in Belkin routers. However, it is still strongly recommended that you check you check router docs for the information.
Once you have entered the information, click on the Login button or hit Enter on the keyboard. This will open up the router configuration setting page. You can begin to make changes to your username and password, configure wireless association settings, or setup an passage point among other things. When done, exit the router configuration page.
