If your internet has been slow, resetting your ASUS router can solve many common issues. The process erases all custom settings, so save your account and password information first. ASUS offers two main methods: using the online portal at http://www.asusrouter.com (or your router’s LAN IP) or pressing the reset button on the back for five to 10 seconds until the power LED flashes.

Before resetting, connect the router to your computer via Ethernet or Wi‑Fi, locate the default login credentials on the device label, and back up any special settings like Ai Protection logs. After initiating the reset via the portal’s Administration > Restore/Save/Upload Setting menu or the mobile app’s System reset option, wait for the router to reboot without powering it down. If the portal method fails, the manual button reset works the same way.

Always perform a standard reboot before attempting a hard factory reset, and consult the ASUS support page for model‑specific hard reset procedures if needed.
