How to Factory Hard Reset a Arris / Surfboard Router

If you forgot your customized admin password or experience firmware corruption, you can restore factory defaults using the physical hardware reset procedure:

Important Notice: Configuration Erasure

A factory reset permanently erases all customized Wi-Fi network names (SSIDs), passwords, port forwarding rules, static DHCP reservations, and custom DNS settings. Your router will revert to factory defaults.

  1. Verify your Arris / Surfboard router is plugged in and the Power LED light is solid.
  2. Locate the recessed Reset pinhole button on the rear or bottom panel.
  3. Insert an unfolded paperclip or SIM-ejection tool and press the button firmly for 15 to 30 seconds.
  4. Watch the LED indicator lights blink, indicating the flash memory reset sequence has initiated.
  5. Release the button and allow 2 to 3 minutes for the system to complete its automated reboot cycle.
  6. Reconnect using factory default credentials: username admin and password password.
