TalkTalk Telecom Group is a company from the United Kingdom (based in Salford) that provides TV and Internet access services. It was founded in 2003. Since 2010 it\u2019s been operating as an independent company.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are using a <\/span>Talktalk router<\/span><\/a> and are currently <\/span>experiencing connection issues<\/span><\/a> that you can\u2019t solve in any other way, resetting your TalkTalk router might help. We are here to show you how to reset your TalkTalk router and tell you what resetting does to your router. Oh, and we will also discuss restarting, which is a procedure similar to resetting but has different effects and consequences. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

What is a Router Reset?<\/h2>\n

We’re sure you’ve heard the term “reset” many times, but do you know what this procedure does to your router?<\/span><\/p>\n

A reset is a process that wipes out all the settings you made on the router and restores them to the factory settings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of the term reset, people also use terms \u201chard reset\u201d or \u201cfactory reset\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

When to Reset Your Router?<\/h2>\n

You should reset your router only after you exhaust all the other options. It shouldn\u2019t be your first option because it eliminates all the settings you\u2019ve made in the past \u2013 it will erase your basic settings (Wi-Fi password and Wi-Fi name, your router\u2019s username\/password), and all the advanced settings (assigned static IP addresses, blocked devices, guest networks, sharing settings, QoS settings, and everything else you can think of). <\/span><\/p>\n

You can reset your TalkTalk router when you can\u2019t remember and can\u2019t find your router password or Wi-Fi password. It is also a viable solution when your internet speed doesn\u2019t match your plan, or when you experience different kinds of Wi-Fi and <\/span>internet access issues<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>no internet access<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting<\/span><\/a>, etc.). <\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Router Restart?<\/h2>\n

You are probably familiar with this term. Restart is, just like reset, used when your modem\/router is not working properly or when your connection is acting up. The restart is basically a power cycling \u2013 your turn the device off (or disconnect it from the power source) and turn it back on.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Restarting the router is recommended when your internet connection is going off every few minutes, when it\u2019s running slower than usual, or when having some other problems related to your internet connection. If you can’t decide whether to restart or reset your router, the quick answer is \u2013 do the restart first. If the restart doesn’t work, try resetting your TalkTalk router.<\/span><\/p>\n

All the settings we\u2019ve talked about (Wi-Fi password, network name, static IPs, QoS settings, parental control, blocked devices, etc.) will remain the same after you restart the router. The only change you should notice after restarting the TalkTalk router is that the <\/span>internet connection<\/span><\/a> works properly again.<\/span><\/p>\n

We recommend that you restart preventively, even when everything is fine with the Internet (once a month is enough).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Most Important Differences Between Reset and Restart<\/h2>\n

The terms \u201cReset\u201d and \u201cRestart\u201d, although they undoubtedly sound very similar, are two completely different procedures, and you need to know the difference – that\u2019s the only way to know when you need to apply one or the other.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s recapitulate:<\/span><\/p>\n

Reset<\/b> – it eliminates all the current settings and restores them to factory settings (everything you have changed or adjusted in your router\u2019s settings, such as Wi-Fi password, SSID, etc., will be erased). The reset button is used to perform the reset procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Restart<\/b> – all of your settings will stay the same after the router is restarted. To perform this procedure, you need to turn off the router and turn it on again. For this, you can use the power button, or you can disconnect the router from the power source (unplug the cable). <\/span><\/p>\n
