Reset Speedport w724v: how it works on the device

There are two ways you can reset the Speedport w724v. It is particularly easy to reset the router directly on the device:

• To reset the Speedport w724v to its factory settings, the router must be connected to the mains.
• On the back of the device you will find a small opening to the right of the power connection. "Reset" stands above it. Insert a pointed object into the opening and hold the small switches inside for five seconds. A paper clip and a pin are suitable, for example.
• Then remove the tip from the opening.
• After about 90 seconds the reset is complete and you can set up the speed port.

Reset Speedport to factory settings

A second option is via the Speedport user interface:

• Open your browser and enter "speedport.ip" or "192.168.2.1" in the address bar (more in the video).
• Log in with your access data.
• Under the "Settings" tab, call up the "Troubleshooting" menu item.
• Select "Reset all settings" from the selection and then "Factory settings".
• You will be asked again if you really want to reset the settings. If you confirm with "OK", the device is reset.
• When the reset is complete and the router is restarted, the login window appears on your screen.
