How To Reset TP-Link Router To Factory Default Settings

Eric shows you how to reset a TP-Link router to factory default settings. This works for all the TP-Link routers.
There is a pin hole on the back or bottom of the router with a button inside. You'll want to find a pointy sharp object, such as a pen or safety pin, to press into the hole and hold the button down.
1. Make sure the power is plugged in!
2. Then hold the button down for at least 10 seconds
The router will not have factory default password and settings applied, just like when it came new from the store!

Hi, My "Tp-Link Archer c50 V1" router is bricked and would like to get help in this regard.
I flashed Openwrt firmware on it using web gui of the router.After this the router went to bootloop with single led and then all led's blinking in alternate fashion with 2 sec delay.
I used the TFTPD to read log file and then flashed the original firmaware back after renaming it as per tftpd log .After this the router bricked further(the red led glows for a sec when I power on the router but then no Led's blink).I cannot use tftpd at this stage .Is there any way to still get it working?

Thanks for your help. Very good. Now that I have reset my AX6600 Tp Link router, can I connect my router with my Bell Fibre modem router? Thanks again.

I hard reset my tp link router as directed in this video and I can’t access the website without the tp link being connected yet it continues to ask me for a password on my WiFi connection

[@wizardjaguar7772]

Yes you cannot acces the web page without connecting the router I will recommend that you connect via the lan cable provided with the router to your laptop or just wirelessly connect to any device and the password is printed below the router

[@kokichi3yearsago632]

​@@wizardjaguar7772is it true that when resetting the router the internet disappears?

[@abadazadytgaming7200]

Yes yes it f******** is 😂

[@RETUSAF1995]

Try admin and password as password, router resets to factory defaults.

[@CoolaJokern]

Any tips if you dont have a safety pin?

[@HomeNetworkCentral]

Paper clip, thumb tack, push pin, pen (maybe take it apart so it will fit in the hole), shower curtain ring, shoelace tip, mechanical pencil, small rolled up piece of paper 😁👍

Now I have no internet connection. There's a symbol that looks like a UFO that's orange. I try to set up my Wi-Fi's username and password but I can't because I have no connection, and I HAVE to be connected to my Wi-Fi to change it.
