Factory Reset?

I have a Nighthawk R6400v2 that has 3rd party firmware loaded to utilize a VPN. If I do a factory reset, will this return the router to it's NETGEAR firmware and functionality?

  • No it won't. Factory reset just removes the current settings. To get back to stock, check with the forum specific site for the firmware on there on how to go back to stock.
