Today I will tell you how to perform a factory reset on Asus routers. Actually a very useful thing. I think that the article will be useful to many. Basically, on the router asus settings can be reset in the same way as on other routers. This can be done with a special button on the router case, or through the control panel, there is such a function.
What is a factory reset and why do it? Everything is very simple, each router has default settings with which it comes from the factory. After the purchase, of course, we set up the router the way we need: set the parameters for connecting to the provider, set the password for Wi-Fi, change the network name, etc. For example, we recently. So, there are times when you need to clear these parameters so that the router is back to factory settings. For example, you changed providers, you want to sell your router, or something went wrong during the setup process and you want to start over. To do this, so that the old settings do not interfere with us, we simply reset all settings on our router and configure it again.
Also, in the setup instructions specific models routers, I always advise doing a factory reset before setting up. This is necessary in order to clear the settings that someone may have already set. And because of them, problems can arise during the setup process.
This the article will do for almost all models network devices by asus (RT-N10, RT-N12, RT-N14U, rt-g32, etc.). The principle is the same. Unless the button and its location may differ.
Doing a factory reset on an Asus router
As I wrote above, a special button on the router case is responsible for resetting the settings. She signed reset, or restore. Asus is very fond of attaching the WPS function to this button (activated with a short press).
So, in order to reset the settings, we you need to press this Reset button for 10 seconds and hold it. Then let go, the router will reboot and the factory settings will be restored. The button looks like this (for example):
And this is how it looks on an older Asus RT-N13U:
Here I think everything is clear. We pressed the button, held it for 10 seconds, and the settings were restored.
Restoring factory settings via the control panel
Another easy way. We need to go to the router settings, about how to do this, I wrote in the article:.
In settings go to the tab Administration - Settings management and press the button Reestablish. Click Ok to confirm, and wait until the process of restoring the parameters is completed.
By the way, it is possible to save the settings, and then, if necessary, restore them from a file. I will write about this in a separate article. I hope you managed to reset your Asus router, if something doesn't work, ask in the comments.

Why does the Asus Zenfon phone slow down, freeze and lag?
Is your phone running slower than normal? Too many apps running at the same time
If your phone is slow or unstable, or what is called "slows down", then you may have too many applications running at the same time. Try the following steps to manage applications:
1. Clear recent applications running in the background: Press the button in the lower right corner of the front side of the screen, which resembles cascading windows. From there, you can either close each application individually by clicking the "X" icon on the top right of each window, or by clicking the bottom right button with three fields and an "X" icon to close all applications at once.
2. Use AutoPlay Manager to prevent unwanted background processes from running after enabling: Open the AutoPlay Manager application. From there, you can enter the "preloaded" and "downloaded" sections to determine which apps you'd rather not launch automatically and then confirm that those apps are set to be rejected.
3. If you're running a high performance app, try turning on Performance Mode: Open Settings, select Power Management, and then select Power Saver. After that select "Performance".
If app management doesn't help solve your phone's sluggishness, try restarting your system. To do this, press and hold the power button (located on the top of the phone) for a short period of time until a menu appears with the restart option. If this does not work, you can simply press and hold the power button until the smartphone turns off and then turn it back on.
