Your router's default password may be different from what we have listed here.
Change your router's DNS settings
Some ISPs choose to abuse the DNS system and map unknown names to servers they manage. This can be done without you knowing what's going on as your router gets its DNS settings from your ISP. For example, if you have one of these ISPs that are hijacking your DNS and you are trying to browse the internet to "some-random-site.com" and "some-random-site.com" does not exist, you can get a page back from your ISP with local ads on it.
By changing the DNS setting on your router, you will effectively change the DNS setting for every computer on your network. This is because when a device is connected to your network, your router automatically propagates its own DNS settings to that device. So you can protect your entire network from ISP hijacking with one parameter.

To learn how to reset the factory configurations on Asus routers, you need to read this article to the end. In fact, this is an incredibly useful thing, so the information posted can be useful to many. In general, resetting the settings on an Asus router is almost the same as on other networked PCs. This is done using a button designed for this, located on the case, or using the control panel, where such a function is mounted.
What is the reset for and what is it all about?
The answer is simple - each gadget has default settings provided by the manufacturer. But, having bought it, we still want to set it up the way it is necessary and convenient for us. The parameters for connecting to the provider are set, the Wi-Fi password is set, the network name is changed, etc.
For example, almost a couple of weeks ago we set up an Asus RT-N12+. This practice has shown us that there are cases where it is necessary to clear the parameters in order for the device to return to the factory settings again. An example is the change of provider in the case when you decide to sell the gadget, or something went wrong during the settings and you need to return everything to its original, i.e. factory position. That is why we remove all existing parameters and reconfigure the device again.
Even using the memo on setting up the necessary configurations, for some models it is more practical to reset them to the factory settings. This must be done with the settings that you set earlier, as they can become a source of any problems.
I would like to note right away that the information in this article is great for various Asus devices (RT-N10, RT-N12, RT-N14U, rt-g32, etc.). In general, the principle is the same, the differences can only be in the location of the button.
Resetting the settings on the Asus router
Attention! When performing a reset operation, it is worth remembering that everything will be deleted from the gadget, so after that you will have to reinstall everything that is important to you. You can configure the router using the memo, which may be located in.
As mentioned above, in order to reset the settings, you must use the special button located on the device. It may be signed as reset or restore. By the way, it is on Asus that this button can also perform the WPS function, which is activated during a short press.
Thus, to drop the adjustments, you you need to press this Reset button for 10 seconds and hold it. After letting go, the gadget will reboot, which will restore the factory settings. How this button looks like can be seen on the example of Asus RT-N12+:
Please note that this button is not marked at all on the RT-N18U model.
This is how the button on the old Asus RT-N13U is presented:
There will probably be no questions with this picture, everything is very clear here: they pressed the button, held it for 10 seconds. and, voila, the tinctures are ready.
How are factory settings restored from the control panel via 192.168.1.1?
In addition, there is an excellent option for saving settings, which, if necessary, can be restored from a file. But, all the subtleties of these events will be described in another article. And now, I hope this information will help you reset your Asus device without any problems.
