on the access point. This option can be useful if you want to register the access point
under a different name or account.
This option requires two steps:
1. Contact NETGEAR support at netgear.com/support so that the NETGEAR
registration status on the NETGEAR server can be reset.
2.
Return the access point to factory default settings and reset the registration on
the access point. 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), which is then automatically followed by the single sign-on (SSO) process,
which lets you reregister the access point with NETGEAR.
Note: If you reset the registration on the access point without contacting NETGEAR
first, the access point is returned to factory default settings only, and the registration
is not reset.
CAUTION: The following process erases all settings that you configured in the access
point.
To reset the access point to factory default settings using the Reset button:
1.
On the back of the access point, locate the recessed Reset button.
For more information, see Back panel with ports, buttons, and a power connector
on page 13.
2. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.
3.
Do one of the following:
•
Reset to factory default settings but maintain the registration status. Press
the Reset button for more than 5 seconds but less than 10 seconds. (Do not press
the button for more than 10 seconds!)
After you use this option, you must go through the initial log-in process again
but you do not need to reregister 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. Press the
Reset button for more than 10 seconds.
This option requires you to first contact NETGEAR support at netgear.com/support
so that the NETGEAR registration status on the NETGEAR server can be reset.
Then, you can use this option, go through the initial log-in process again, and
reregister the access point with NETGEAR.
The Power LED turns red and the configuration is reset to factory default settings.
When the reset is complete, the access point reboots. This process takes about two
minutes.
