FRITZBox-Reset: How to reset it to the factory settings

If your Fritzbox has problems, the easiest way to solve the problem is to reset it. Unfortunately there is no reset button on the router for the Fritzbox. However, you have the option of resetting it via the browser or by telephone.

Reset Fritzbox via the browser

Attention: You reset your Fritzbox to the factory settings. All data stored on it will be lost.

1. Open the fritz.box user interface and log in with your password.
2. Select "System" from the menu on the left.
3. Under this you will find the "Backup" option.
4. Click on the "Factory settings" tab above and click on the "Load factory settings" button.
5. If you confirm the subsequent security query, the Fritzbox restarts and cannot be reached for at least one minute. You can then call up the user interface again via the browser.

Reset Fritzbox by phone

• Set your telephone connected to the Fritzbox so that it supports the tone dialing process. You know whether this is the case if you press a key during a call and you hear a tone on the other end of the line. This is already the case with most phones.
• As soon as you hear the dial tone, type the following numbers and characters into the phone one after the other: # 991 * 15901590 *. The following also applies here: If you reset the Fritzbox to the delivery state, all stored data will be lost.
• When you hang up, the Fritzbox is restarted. It will be ready for use again after about a minute.
