8. Click the Login again button.
A login window displays.
9. With your recovered password, log in to the access point.
Factory default settings
Under some circumstances (for example, if you lost track of the changes that you made
to the access point settings or you move the access point to a different network), you
might want to erase the configuration and reset the access point to factory default
settings.
If the access point is in access point mode and you do not know the current IP address
of the access point, first try to use the NETGEAR Insight mobile app or an IP scanner
application to detect the IP address. If you still cannot find the current IP address of the
access point, reset the access point to factory default settings.
Note: If the access point is in router mode, you can always access the access point by
using http://www.routerlogin.net.
To reset the access point to factory default settings, you can use either the dual-function
Reset button on the back of the access point or the Erase function in the local browser
UI. However, if you cannot find the IP address or lost the password to access the access
point and cannot recover it, you must use the Reset button.
After you reset the access point to factory default settings, the access point is in router
mode, the login URL is www.routerlogin.net, and the DHCP server is enabled. For a list
of factory default settings, see Technical specifications on page 242.
Use the dual-function Reset button to return to factory
defaults
Depending on how you long press the dual-function Reset button (for details, see the
following procedure), this button lets you return the access point to factory default
settings and either keep the registration status or reset it on the access point only:
•
Reset to factory default settings but maintain the registration status. Return the
access point to factory default settings only. After you do so, you must go through
the initial log-in process again (see Set up the access point and complete the initial
log-in process on page 17), but you do not need to register the access point with
NETGEAR and can use your local device password to log in to the local browser UI.
•
Reset to factory default settings and reset the registration status. Return the
access point to factory default settings and reset the NETGEAR registration status
