Erasing the Configuration
It is sometimes desirable to restore the range extender to the original default settings. The Erase
function restores all factory settings. After an erase, the range extender's password is password
and the LAN IP address is 192.168.0.101.
To erase the configuration, click and hold the reset button for at least 15 seconds.
Warning: Do not turn off the power to the WGX102 until the power LED has turned solid green.
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP
address, you must use the default reset button on the bottom panel of the WGX102. See “Restoring
the Default Configuration and Password” on page 9-7.
Upgrading the Range Extender Software
The software of the WGX102 Wall-Plugged Range Extender is stored in FLASH memory, and can
be upgraded as new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from
the NETGEAR Web site. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the
file before sending it to the range extender. The upgrade file can be sent to the range extender
using your browser.
Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the WGX102 Wall-Plugged Range
Extender must support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or above.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Upgrade
Firmware to display the menu shown below.
Note: Before upgrading the WGX102 software, use the Backup Settings menu to save
your configuration settings. Any range extender upgrade reverts the WGX102 settings
back to the factory defaults. After completing the upgrade, you can restore your settings
from the backup.
