Here, you will find the correct instructions to reset the BrosTrend AX3000 extender.

How to Reset the BrosTrend AX3000?

There are two ways to reset the BrosTrend AX3000: the physical reset button method and the web interface method. I’ll cover both, but let’s start with the simplest one.

Method 1: Using the Reset Button

This is the go-to option if your router is being totally unresponsive or if you can’t access the web interface.

• Find the reset button
  Look at the back or bottom of your BrosTrend AX3000. You’ll see a tiny hole labeled “Reset.” It’s usually recessed to prevent accidental presses.
• Grab something pointy
  You’ll need a paperclip, pin, or even a SIM ejector tool basically anything small enough to fit into that hole.
• Press and hold
  Push the button down and hold it for about 10-15 seconds. You’ll see the router lights start to flash. That’s your cue it’s resetting.
• Wait for reboot
  Let go of the button and give it a couple of minutes. The router will restart and revert to its original factory settings.

Method 2: Reset via Web Interface

This method is great if your router is still functioning and you can access the admin panel through your browser.

• Connect to the router
  Use Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable to connect your device to the BrosTrend AX3000.
• Open your browser
  In the address bar, type re.brostrend.com or 192.168.0.254 and hit Enter.
• Log in to the admin panel
  Default username and password is usually admin/admin unless you’ve changed it (and hopefully you have).
• Find the reset option
  Navigate to System Tools or Administration (the name may vary slightly), then look for “Factory Default” or “Reset”.
• Confirm the reset
  Click it, confirm your choice, and let the router do its thing.

After the reset, the BrosTrend AX3000 will restart, and you’ll need to set it up from scratch. That includes choosing a network name (SSID) and password, and reconfiguring any settings you had before.

What to Do After the Reset?

Once your router has been reset, it’s essentially brand new. Here’s what you should do next:

• Reconnect to the default network
  Look for the default SSID on the sticker on your router. Use the password provided (also on the sticker) to connect.
• Access the setup wizard
  When you connect, your browser might automatically open the setup page. If not, type in re.brostrend.com again.
• Set a strong password
  Please don’t use “12345678” or “password” you’re better than that. Create a solid password that keeps your network secure.
• Update firmware
  If you haven’t checked in a while, it’s a good idea to update your router’s firmware. It can fix bugs and improve performance.

Troubleshooting Tips

If the reset didn’t work or the router is still misbehaving, try the following:

• Double-check the reset duration
  If you didn’t hold the button long enough (a quick press won’t do it), the reset won’t trigger. Make sure you’re holding it down for a full 10–15 seconds.
• Try a different power outlet
  Yes, it sounds silly, but sometimes power issues mess with the router’s behavior.
• Use a different browser or device to access the setup page if it’s not loading.
