How to Reset a Verizon Router (Factory Reset)

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

Verizon-specific steps

Verizon ONT and router gear often has a reset button on the ONT or gateway. Hold as labeled (often 10+ seconds). After reset, use the admin URL and password on the sticker. Common private gateways vary by device. Start at IP addresses and Verizon.

General reset checklist

1. Keep power connected.
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.
