How to zap your Slingbox back to its "out-of-the-box" settings. You have to do this if you have forgotten the Administrator password or if you get a new router.
Certain situations may require you to restore your Slingbox to factory settings. The most common reasons are: - You forgot your Slingbox password(s). Resetting it allows you to start fresh and set new passwords.
- You replaced the router that was originally connected your Slingbox. In this case, the Slingbox was set up to work with your original router and now needs a new IP address from your new router.
- You purchased a previously owned Slingbox that still has its old settings in place.
To reset your Slingbox, you must be on your home network and be able to physically access the Slingbox. - With your Slingbox powered on, press and hold the Reset button on the back of the Slingbox for five seconds.
- The lights on the front of the Slingbox quickly flash from left to right, and then flash slowly.
- The Slingbox is reset after 30 seconds.
- Once reset, the Power light stays solid.
- If your Slingbox is connected to your router, the Network light will also go on when it receives an IP address.
Click on your Slingbox model to see where you will find the reset button.
