How To Reset Google Fiber – How To Fix (Guide)

Are you having some issues with your Google Fiber device, and you’re looking to restart it? Well, we have put together a detailed guide with instructions on how to restart or reboot your router or other devices.

But before then, let’s bring you up to speed on everything you need to know about restarting your Google Fiber devices.

The truth is, sometimes, your Google Fiber device runs into a state that requires you to reboot or reset it. To give you some perspective, devices like a router or Network Box can max out their memory due to pending download requests. This may eventually slow down or stop the entire system from running effectively.

For Google Fiber users having issues with their internet connection, the first thing you should do is restart your Wi-Fi router via the Fiber app. If that doesn’t seem to work, you can manually do it by following the instruction below.

Powercycle your Fiber device

If you have tried using the Fiber app to resolve the problem, but you don’t seem to be making any headway, you can try powercycling the device to see if that works. And here is how to go about that:

• Start by unplugging your device’s power plug.
• Wait for at least 15 seconds.
• Connect the power plug back into the device
• Wait for at least 2-3 minutes for the LED light to turn solid blue.

Rest your fiber device

Like powercycling, resetting your Fiber devices usually solves the most common problems that people have with Google Fiber. But while attempting to reset your Fiber device using the reset button, you have to use caution when hitting the reset button since the whole process can cause a full factory reset.

Unlike Powercycling, which refreshes the whole system, a factory reset usually returns your devices to their default setting. While it helps to resolve any configuration related issues, it will discard most settings you have put in place. For instance, a factory reset will wipe off display settings, special configurations, and 3^rd party app logins.

For those who have decided to reset their Fiber devices, here is how to go about it:
