How To Factory Reset Linksys Velop?

Resetting your Linksys Velop system is pretty easy. The only thing you should do is perform the reset on all of the devices within the Velop system.

Keep in mind that once the parent node in your Velop system is reset, all child nodes will automatically be disconnected.

Note: Child notes can either be reset as well or reconnected once the parent node has finished the reset.

Important: Before moving on to the upcoming steps on how to factory reset your Linksys Velop, note that your device must be actively running.

You will know that your nodes are active if their LED boots up showing a purple or a blue light.

Now let’s see how to reset Linksys Velop:

Step #1 Prepare Your Devices

Resetting your Linksys Velop will erase all settings and configurations made to your system.

Such are WiFi names, passwords, security types, and all temporal configurations made will be deleted.

Is My Device Eligible For A Reset?

If you’ve recently restarted or power cycled any of the nodes in your Linksys Velop system, the reset won’t work for a couple of minutes afterward.

Your nodes must have been actively running for a couple of minutes in order for the reset to work.

Before interacting with any of the nodes, double-check that the LED is either in purple or blue light.

Any other light might indicate an ongoing process and the factory reset button will not work.

Step #2 Reset The Parent Node

As you probably know already, in your Linksys Velop system, there is a parent node and child nodes.

The parent node is usually a single device and all child nodes will be connected and controlled remotely from the parent node.

In order to reset the whole system, you must first initiate the factory reset by resetting your parent node.

Which Is The Parent Node?

The parent node can be distinguished from the child notes due to its physical connection with the modem.

You will know which node is the parent one if it is connected with your network modem via an Ethernet cable.

Follow these steps to reset the parent node in your Linksys Velop system:

1. Double-check that your parent node is in purple or blue light.
2. Turn the device upside down.
3. Locate the factory reset button in the bottom panel of the device.
4. Press the factory reset button and hold it down for 30 seconds.
5. Release the button once the LED on your parent node starts slowly flashing.

After releasing the factory reset button, place your device in the correct position and wait for it to restart.

After the restart has concluded, all child nodes will be disconnected from the parent node.

Step #3 Reset All Child Nodes

After resetting your parent node, now all child notes are idle since they have been disconnected from the network.

To finish the reset, you must perform the same process as you did on your parent node, but with all the child notes in your system.

Which Nodes Are Child Nodes?

The child nodes in your Linksys Velop system will usually not have any cables attached to them except the power adapters.

You will be able to tell which nodes are child nodes by their smaller and compact size, compared to the parent one.

Perform the following steps in order to reset the child nodes in your Linksys Velop system:

1. Locate the factory reset button in the bottom panel of the child nodes.
2. Press the factory reset button on each child node for 30 seconds.
3. Release the button once the LED’s light changes and the device reboots.

After the reset, you’ll most likely need a guide on how to hook up and set up all nodes so we got you covered!
