Force restore on TP-LINK devices

How to force a factory reset or hard reset on TP-LINK devices

Force restore, also called “hard reset” of an TP-LINK brand device is necessary when the device does not turn on, shows an error or does not respond and it is not possible to reset it from the device settings.

Keep in mind that force restoring an TP-LINK device will erase everything on it and you need to know the passkey to be able to turn it back on even after force restoring.
