About Factory Resets
A factory reset on a router returns all settings to default settings as the router
was when leaving the factory floor. It is particularly important to perform a
factory reset after upgrading the router firmware to ensure the firmware
installation is completed correctly.
There are two methods that can be used to perform a successful factory reset:
using the router's graphical user interface (GUI) to complete a factory
reset.
performing a factory reset manually using the reset pinhole at the back of
the modem.
This guide will explain both methods to complete a successful factory reset.

Performing a Factory Reset via the Router GUI Interface
1. Navigate to http://192.168.1.1 in a web browser using admin as both the username and password
to login to the router.
2. Select the Management menu, then select the Device Settings option and then click the Restore
Default option.
3. Click the Restore Default Settings button.

4. Click OK to confirm the factory reset.
5. After the modem has rebooted you will now need to login to the modem and re-enter your
broadband connection settings to connect to the internet.
Performing a Factory Reset Manually
1. Ensure the 3G29WN2 is powered on.
2. Use a thin object such as a paperclip to depress and hold in the reset button at the back of the
modem for 10-15 seconds. During this time the modem lights will flicker in a pattern to show the
reset is underway.
3. After holding in the reset button for 10-15 seconds, release the button and check that the modem
lights return to their normal pattern. If this does not happen, disconnect the power supply cable for
30 seconds and then reconnect it.
4. You will now need to login to the modem and re-enter your broadband connection settings to connect
to the internet.
