There are a few different ways to reset a Verizon router, depending on the specific model you have. It is always a good idea to try other troubleshooting steps before resetting your router, such as checking for software updates, restarting your devices, and moving the router to a new location, as these can also improve WiFi performance.
Here are a few common methods to restore default settings on Verizon Router:
- Using the reset button: Many Verizon routers have a small button labeled “Reset” or “Restore Factory Defaults.” To reset the router using this button, locate the button on the back or bottom of the router, and press and hold it for 10-15 seconds until the lights on the router blink or turn off. Release the button, and the router will automatically reboot and return to its factory settings.
- Using the web interface: You can also reset your Verizon router by logging into the web-based interface. Open a web browser and enter the router’s IP address (search for it on Router.Info) and enter your login credentials. Once logged in, look for a menu option labeled “Maintenance” or “Advanced,” and look for an option to reset the router or restore factory defaults.
- Power cycling: If you are unable to access the web interface, you can try power cycling the router by unplugging the power cord from the router, waiting for 30 seconds, and plugging it back in.
- Contact Verizon Support: If none of the above methods work, you may need to contact Verizon support for help resetting your router. They can guide you through the process and help you troubleshoot any issues you may be experiencing.

Please note that resetting the router will erase all of your custom settings, including network name and password, so you’ll need to set them up again once the router is reset.
