How to Reset a Motorola Router (Factory Reset)

Use a factory reset on your Motorola router when you forgot the admin password or need a clean configuration. This erases custom Wi-Fi settings.

Motorola-specific steps

Motorola modems and gateways usually have a reset pinhole. Hold about 10 seconds, wait for reboot, then use sticker credentials. Confirm the admin IP on the label. Browse IP guides and Motorola.

3. Wait for a full reboot.
4. Join default Wi-Fi from the sticker if needed.
