Restoring the Slingbox to factory settings
Restoring the Slingbox to factory settings
Certain situations may require you to restore your Slingbox to factory settings. For example:
•If you replace the router to which you 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.
•If you forgot your password.
•If you move your Slingbox to another home or network.
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, then flash slowly. The Slingbox is reset after 30 seconds. Once reset, the Power light stays solid.
Note: If your Slingbox is connected to your router, the Network light will also go on when it receives an IP address.
If you restore factory settings, all of your Slingbox settings will be cleared and it will need to be reconfigured.
