Note: The switch provides a recessed multi-function Reset button on the
back panel that lets you return the switch to its factory default settings,
causing all custom settings to be erased. The factory default settings
function of the Reset button is available only after you use the
NETGEAR Insight app to remove the switch from your network. After
you use the NETGEAR Insight app to remove the switch from your
network, press the Reset button for at least five seconds. The switch
restarts and returns to its factory default settings.
 To reset the switch to the factory default settings:

You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 11.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The default password is password. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
