How to Reset a Motorola Router (Factory Reset)

Factory reset a Motorola router or gateway. Button steps, what gets erased, and how to log in again afterward.

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.

  2. Hold Reset 10 to 15 seconds (follow your model if the manual differs).
  3. Wait for a full reboot.
  4. Join default Wi-Fi from the sticker if needed.
  5. Change admin and Wi-Fi passwords after login.
