Figured I'd ask all you smart people. I know a little about networking, but not much.
My mom has a Westell 327W Modem/Router. She moved and brought it to her new home where she got DSL from her new phone company. I went to set up a secured network, but it had kept the settings from her old house and she doesnt remember her passowrd/SSID. How can I reset the router back to factory to make it work? |

they usually have a little reset button or hole where you insert something and reset it. look in the back Yeah, I tried that. It still kept the old settings. It needs like a master reset or something and I can't find anything in the online manual that mentions it. |

the default username and password is
us= admin pw= password Note: you may be prompt for user name and password on specific pages within the modem. The default user name is: admin; the default password is: password. However, with Verizon subscribers, if the above does not work, try entering your Verizon's user name and password. if you don't know this contact your service providor |

Unplug the power from the router. 3. Plug the power back in. 4. Release the switch. That should reset it back to factory default. |
