Hard reset instructions for Iomega iConnect
If your iConnect router is not working as it should, dropping connections or not
being
responsive, you should first do a reset of the router to see if the problems persist. Other
scenarios where you might want to reset your router is if you've forgotten the password or
misconfigured it and can't get access anymore.
Your can reset your Iomega iConnect in the following way(s):
The 30-30-30 reset
There are no specific instructions for this model yet, but you can always do the 30-30-30 reset as follows:- When router is powered on, press the reset button and hold for 30 seconds. (Use a paper clip or something sharp)
- While holding the reset button pressed, unplug the power of the router and hold the reset button for 30 seconds
- While still holding the reset button down, turn on the power to the unit again and hold for another 30 seconds.
This process usually works for resetting any router to it's factory setting.

- Find out your routers IP address with the WhatsMyRouterIp.com IP finder
- Type the router IP in the browser address field and press enter, e.g. http://192.168.0.1

If these instructions don't work for your router, you can always try a factory reset to get the default, or try some other common Iomega credentials, as they can usually be shared across models/variants.
