Advice
- Resetting your router will erase all of your configuration. If you have previously opened some ports for gaming, those ports will be blocked. In addition, other custom or wireless network settings (including the password if you have changed it) will also be removed.
- The default setting of most routers is DHCP, NAT, or some other type of automatic IP address. You should consider this aspect carefully if you have changed your router settings to assign a static IP address.
- If the router IP address changes during the reset, it may take up to 24 hours for your service provider to assign you a new IP address (depending on the carrier). During this time, the connection will be either limited or no connectivity.
- If you are still having trouble connecting to the Internet, contact your local Internet service provider.
Warning
- A router reset is a last resort. First, you should try turning off the power – on again, or open another web browser to test the connection.
