The resetting of an electronic device (such as a computer, router, or smartphone) to its initial state or to a defined starting state.
Wenn das Internet nicht funktioniert, hilft oft ein Reset des Routers.
If the internet isn't working, a reset of the router often helps.
The most common verb used with 'Reset' (reset) is 'machen' (to do/make). People often talk about 'einen Reset machen' (to do a reset) in order to restart a device.
Wenn der Computer langsam ist, mache ich einfach einen Reset.
If the computer is slow, I just do a reset.
You can tell from the context whether the technical or figurative meaning is intended. If people are talking about devices (computers, routers), it means a technical restart. If they are talking about people, projects, or feelings, it means a mental fresh start.
Der Router braucht einen Reset, das Internet geht wieder nicht.
The router needs a reset; the internet isn't working again.
In technical instructions or in a more formal context, the phrase 'einen Reset durchführen' (to perform a reset) is often used instead of 'einen Reset machen' (to do a reset).

Please perform a reset of the device to restore the factory settings.
restoration
'Wiederherstellung' and 'Reset' can both mean that something returns to an earlier or usable state. 'Wiederherstellung' sounds more general and often more careful: something is repaired, recovered, or made functional again. This can apply to data, buildings, order, or health. 'Reset' is used mainly in technology, when a device or system is reset. In a figurative sense, 'Reset' means a clear fresh start. The confusion arises because both sound like 'back to the beginning'. But a reset is often a quick resetting; a restoration is more of a process in which something is rebuilt or rescued.
Wenn der Router nicht reagiert, hilft manchmal ein Reset.
If the router does not respond, a reset sometimes helps.
