Hard reset instructions for ASUS Lyra

If your Lyra router is not working as it should, dropping connections or not being responsive, you should first do a reset of the router to see if the problems persist. Other scenarios where you might want to reset your router is if you've forgotten the password or misconfigured it and can't get access anymore.
Your can reset your ASUS Lyra in the following way(s):

Through the web-interface

  1. Open your browser and navigate to the default gateway ip (check default settings below)
  2. Sign in to the web-interface with the username and password you have selected, or try the defaulr username and password (check default settings below)
  3. Under the advanced settings menu, select administration
  4. Find the link "Restore/Save/Upload Setting"
  5. Beside Factory default click on Restore
  6. If prompted, click ok

With the reset button on the router

  1. Locate the reset button on the backside of your unit
  2. with a sharp object, e.g. a paperclip or pencil, press and hold the reset button for 5s or until the power led starts flashing

The 30-30-30 reset

If the above instructions don't work you can always try the 30-30-30 reset as follows:
  1. When router is powered on, press the reset button and hold for 30 seconds. (Use a paper clip or something sharp)
  2. While holding the reset button pressed, unplug the power of the router and hold the reset button for 30 seconds
  3. While still holding the reset button down, turn on the power to the unit again and hold for another 30 seconds.

This process usually works for resetting any router to it's factory setting. If that doesn't work be sure to check out the questions and answers incase someone else has had similar problems resetting their router.

Note: It is worth reading more about how to reset routers with the 30 30 30 reset and what the risks and considerations are when resetting your router this way, instead of just rebooting it.

Default password: adminĀ 
Default subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default DNS server: 192.168.1.1

How to login to the Lyra

To login to the AC2200 Tri-Band Whole-Home Wi-Fi System and change the settings, you can follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are connected to the router's network, either by Wi-Fi or ethernet cable.
  2. Open your browser and visit http://192.168.1.1
  3. You should be prompted with a login dialogue.
