To reset your TalkTalk router, you can follow these general steps:
Locate the reset button: Look for a small reset button on the back or bottom of your TalkTalk router. It is usually recessed to prevent accidental resets.
Prepare a paperclip or a thin object: Get a paperclip or a similar thin object that you can use to press and hold the reset button.
Power off the router: Make sure the router is turned on, and then disconnect the power cable from the back of the router.
Press and hold the reset button: Insert the paperclip or thin object into the reset button and press it down. While holding the button, reconnect the power cable to the router.
Keep holding the reset button: Continue to hold the reset button for about 10-15 seconds or until you see the router's lights flash or the indicators change, indicating that the reset process is taking place.
Release the reset button: After the reset process is complete, let go of the reset button.
Wait for the router to reboot: Allow the router a few moments to reboot and restore its factory settings. This may take a couple of minutes.
Connect to the router: Once the router has finished rebooting, you can connect to it using its default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password, which are usually printed on a label on the router itself.
