Loading the FRITZ!Box factory settings

You want to restore the FRITZ!Box to factory settings? ✔ Here we show you how to easily reset.

Load the factory settings to delete all of the individual settings you have made in your FRITZ!Box. This makes sense if you are going to use the FRITZ!Box at a different location or are planning to pass it on to another user, for example. In addition, this deletes incorrect settings that prevent the FRITZ!Box from working correctly.

You can load the factory settings with the user interface.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE v2 and v3 with the latest FRITZ!OS, the FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE v1 may vary.

  1. Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Backup" in the "System" menu.
  3. Click on the "Factory Settings" tab.
  4. Click the "Load Factory Settings" button.
  5. During this process, all of the LEDs flash once. The WLAN LEDs remain lit as soon as the factory settings have finished loading.
