You cannot access the router’s setup page with this IP if the router’s IP address is not 192.168.1.6.

Restore factory settings on the router’s administration page

1. Log in to the administration page of the router

3. Click the “Revert to Factory Default Settings” button, and a dialog box will appear, asking if you can restore the factory settings to avoid misoperation and affecting regular Internet access.
4. Click the “OK” button, and the router will reboot automatically. 

After reboot, the router will be restored to factory settings.

This method can only be operated by knowing the router’s username and password. 

Reset the router to factory settings by pressing the RESET button

• Find the RESET button on the back of the wireless router. (This button generally has two forms, one is a protruding button that can be pressed directly, and the other is a small hole-shaped button, which requires a paper clip, pin, and other fine-pointed objects to be inserted into the hole and is pressed continuously.)
• The router is powered on, and the power indicator remains on.
• Press and hold the RESET button for about 10 seconds and then release it. All the indicators are on and then all off.
